Change mouse pointer colour
#1
HI,

I've been using PINE64 since I received it and have had no problems, once I burned Android to my SD Card. I won't mention the airmouse as I@m not using it but rather the Minix M1 which is far superior [actually works]

My question[s] is : Is there any way of changing the mouse pointer to be more noticeable? At the moment, it's predominantly dark with a slight light outline. Is there a way to reverse this where the mainly light with a dark outline. Or maybe have a settings toggle to toggle between 2 or 3 options?

For example, if I'm watching Netflix, it's all but impossible to see the pointer. I have to search the screen. It's a minor annoyance but would be great if it was just gone Smile

The mouse pointer is not configurable in the image; however, look around, there may be mouse apps on the play store or on the Net that would allow for mouse pointer options (I mean basically, its just a bitmap in the image).

I was more asking the image creators if they could build this in. I have a few android boxes and all of them have a white pointer. This is the first one where the pointer is dark. When you are sitting 10 to 20 feet away from the TV, it's kind of hard to see Smile

First world problems.....

I realize what you are asking, and from whom.  The answer is still the same. 

At this point in time there is no channel for relaying Android improvements on to the engineers working on the images.  To put this more simply, the image is what it is at the moment.  That may change. I have deliberately attempted to find out where bug reports or code improvements should go ... and there is no clear answer at this time.

I regret that  that is the answer.
