Mouse Cursor and buttons

[stonemason]

Suggest that the mouse cursor changes to the familiar hand when moving over a menu clickable button. There would seem to be no logical reason why the mouse pointer should behave differently to a hypertext link when the sole funcion of both is to trigger some form of event or action.

Many thanks

I agree.

I don't agree.

Look at the Windows Explorer, Word, Excel,...

The look of the button change when the mouse is over, not the mouse cursor..

If the button change like in the example below, it will be correct.

I agree with Denis. The situation is good as it is today. The mouse cursor changes in cases of clickable texts or images, which does not make much sense for buttons, as they can be made to show their own action. I would not like to see two actions (cursor and button) to indicate that the mouse is hovering over a button.

Nice solution Denis! There are always alternatives and the nice thing about PTE is that it is very flexible...

Best regards,

It doesn't answer Geoff's (specific) requiremet, but I "think" that this is what Denis is suggesting."Deep Aqua" Button with HSL adjustments.

Button.ptestyle

Apply the style to a single blank slide. Play in Preview or EXE mode.

Hello,

buttons in Windows get a slightly different appearance when the mouse is over them, to indicate to the user that something is going to happen when they click there

With the aqua button (default button) in PTE, the difference is not really visible.

So I made my own button with a noticable difference when the mouse is over it.
