Problem with cursorxp

May 19, 2005 12:08:17 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I'm using cursorxp 1.31 and for some reason it is now acting wierd. When I mouse over either my rainlendar or my desktopx widget the cursor goes underneath these two items, nothing else. Anyone have a clue how to remedy this?

I get that once in a while (1.31 +)

It's a very wierd thing indeed. Thanks for the tip. It fixed it but I find it strange that it does it at all. I wonder if it has to do with the other 2 programs. If I set them to desktop instead of normal that also fixes them but, then, you can't bring those 2 items to the top when you would like, you have to minimize everything else (not very convenient).

Have you tried the hot key to toggle CXP on and off to see if that works?

I've seen the same thing myself, but I don't remember if I ever tried that.

You can bring the widget up with the hotkeys - the default is f9
f10 toggles between show and hide completely

I show/hide my rainy calendar with ctrl+1/ctrl+0

Thing is when you set the z order to desktop it goes under everything. Hence the reason you either have to move or minimize everything.

I know that. I was talking about trying to get the cursor to not go underneath. One of them was to change the z order on the rainy and DX to desktop.

Sorry to bring this old horse to life again, but I just started having this same problem since Tuesday June 28. I've tried switching cursor themes, putting rainy 'on bottom' and 'on desktop', putting DX widgets on bottom, etc, but nothing has helped. It seems as though the image is going underneath everything, but the cursor hot spot is on top where it is supposed to be. The button images are changing on mouse over, etc.
**edit** After reading some of the other posts, is it possible this is also related to the IP3 update?



Is CursorXP still being supported by Stardock?

Has anyone come up with a definitive answer to this problem?

Thanks

How's that?

Been searching the forums here, can't find another thread with this issue.

Have you tried emailing support?
I've been waiting until it happens again so I can send screen shots.

Hey Bichur, thanks for trying

Everytime I email support, the only thing I ever get back is the form letter, nothing else ever comes of it. I usually go in the chat room.

Read that form letter carefully...... you have to send a second email with the proper subject line to get past the auto reply.

I hate to tell you all this, but that problem of occasionally the cursor going under objects has been reported for about a million years. Either they can't find the cause, or it's not a priority. Maybe v2 will fix it.

If you use the cursors at a bigger size, try resizing it back to 100%.
I have had the problem of the cursor going behind message screens and other things too. Sometimes it becomes invisible.

I just recently started having the same problem, but generally it's only after I play a game. As soon as I close out of a game the cursor will go under all objects, widgets, winamp, etc. Rebooting my computer does work, but it's a bit annoying. Any idea why playing a game would causet his to happen?

Two days ago I dl'd/installed cursorxp. I LOVE IT!!! But today this same thing started to happen and now WILL NOT STOP! My cursor ends up behind some windows and I have to GUESS where it is. I have now disabled cursorxp, much to my regret.
Please fix this - give us a solution. I want my newly-acquired fantastic cursors back.

Sometimes switching to a different cursor makes it work again
