Make Inverting Cursors

Thank you very much for the information, it works perfectly.

hi i like this websit but please make some sort of theme section and put vista themes for xp ext.

I know this post is old, but I cannot make a new topic, and this is still relevant.

Is there any way to set what colours it inverts to?

Currently:
black <-> white
blue <-> orange
etc...

but can it be:
black -> orange
white -> black
blue <-> orange
etc...

basically, I want the original inverted cursor, but instead of white showing when over black, I want orange to show.

or, if possible, I'd like to make it only show orange and black over all colours, changing based on the colour.

The inverting operation in Windows cursors XORs the color bits and cannot be changed.

Hi,

I tried to follow the process described but it doens't work.
Maybe I missed something ...

I can't find the "color" or "property" to use for filling the entities and have the good behaviour (color inverted).

For example, I create a simple rectangle in a 24-bits true color cursor.
If I let my rectangle empty, it will be transparent.
How to have the inside "inverted" by windows ?

Thank you

Vlasta sayd "completely transparent but white"
That is in the normal color chooser RGB each 100 and transparency 0.
it looks white semitransparent on the canvas and gives the inverting effect at using the cursor.

I've tried this on a Precision Select cursor, and it hasn't seemed to work.
They were all at a value of 100 and transparency 0, with the hex code being 00FFFFFF, and on the canvas it did appear as a semi-transparent white. It inverted in the preview section at the top left, too.
However, upon testing it and using it, it hasn't inverted. The cross didn't show up at all.
Does the entire thing have to be inverted for it to work, or should it work on partial inverted cursors?

I think you can shift the hue of it by changing the color from white to a darker color. Black being 0 Degrees, and White being 180 Degrees. And, I think, the more value the color has, the more degrees it will go from 180. If it's a clean red, it will be -180 Degrees.
I'm not absolutely sure on this though, as my math is bad and my thinking process could be wrong.

I just realized that my cursors may be in 32-bit color depth.
Whoops.

I've come back to say no. That is not how inverting colors works. You cannot 'shift the hue by certain degrees' when inverting cursor images. My autism was in its prime at that time and I had no idea what I was talking about.

You can either shift the hue 180°, or not invert the pixels behind it at all. 😊
