Mouse Pointer Rotate Object Size

[tom95521]

I have noticed that when I increase the size of the mouse pointer in Windows that the rotate object size does not increase, On a Mac it increases in size but the rotate pointer resolution is lower than the other pointers.

Windows 11
PTE AV Studio 11.0.18

Thanks,
Tom

I asked Grok

This behavior occurs because application-specific cursors are often defined by the software itself, not by the Windows system cursor settings. 

Windows Cursor Scaling Limitations: Windows’ cursor size settings (adjusted via Settings > Accessibility > Mouse pointer and touch or Ease of Access > Cursor & pointer) primarily affect the default system cursors. Custom cursors in apps may not inherit these changes.

Too bad there is not an operating system provided mouse pointer for rotate. I guess it requires a custom pointer and software that reads the system pointer size and adjusts automatically. It's easy to make a custom cursor from a .png file. Maybe there is a file in the WnSoft folder that can be updated. This might be considered a Suggestions for Next Version instead of Troubleshooting. My 68 year old eyes can see the small cursor but I usually increase the size.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

I agree with you, we'll try to improve these mouse pointers in future V12.

That would be brilliant if you could.

I also have trouble seeing the Rotate and also the Centre Dot marker on some images.

Would be good if that could be made larger also, or maybe an option to change the colour of it if possible.

One method that does not require a custom mouse pointer is to mouse click to switch between resize and rotate. Sample from Boxy SVG.

Thanks,
