Since switching to the ARMX6 I have periodically noticed that the mouse
pointer has changed from the usual dark blue with light blue halo to solid
black. It reverts to normal as soon as you move it.
This effect has no practical significance, but I have never observed it
with any previous RISC OS machine and it puzzled me.
I have only noticed it after a period of non-use so I timed how long the
pointer had to be still for it to happen, which turns out to be 30 seconds.
Does anyone know why this happens? Just curious.
No heard of this one before, but that's not to dispute your findings in
any way. Do you have any software running that could be on a 30 second
timer (eg. screen blanker or time-based software?).
The other possibility is if you're running a very high resolution (eg.
2560x1440 and higher). The pointer is painted "per frame" in those modes,
rather than being an overlay object. Well, to be specific, it remains an
overlay object for a portion of the screen, but is painted in software at
the edges.
I haven't seen the issue in either case (and you'd think I would have at
Wakefield where an ARMX6 was running at 3440x1440 all day, with
significant periods of idling between people "having a play".
Kind wishes,
Andrew
