How to change the mouse pointer's color
I have a block that can do that!
1.go to scratch-objects > ScriptableScratchMorph and add:
Code:
setCursorColorTo: t1
World activeHand showTemporaryCursor: ((Form extent: 5 @ 5 depth: 32)
fillColor: t1)accept it.
the block code is:
Code:
('set cursor color to %c' #- #setCursorColorTo:)

I would highly recommend sharing this at the Block Library!

This is for modifying Scratch 1.4. Do you know how to open the browser?

Re: How to change the mouse pointer's color
This is pretty cool! why not share it in the block library?
I was expecting the cursor to simply appear in a different colour but it currently seems to show a small colour swatch instead until I click on the scripting area, where it turns back into the normal cursor.
However, it seems that this is creating a temporary canvas for the cursor, I reckon this could be quite nicely adapted to allow cursors to take costumes from other sprites or from files?

Precisely. Think of how the stamp works in the paint editor. This uses the same principle.
It would be really easy to get the image from a costume and transfer it to the mouse pointer, not to mention the absolute coolness

Re: How to change the mouse pointer's color
OOOH! Great block i never thought of making that... actually I did... XD but I never tried. I never knew if it would work or not...
Ima make it now. XD
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

Anyways, I'll have to try this - if I can get my brother off the computer, that is.
