How can we replace our windows mouse pointer with a cursor of our own? Is there any extension to do it the right way , like simply replacing the windows cursor with a cursor of our own , like it is done in windows for e.g. desktop themes?. Hide Mouse - XMouse - YMouse , method is really stupid. I have to bring the whole cursor on a button to make it work. No proper pointing is detected like that

Secondly can we check whats the current resolution of desktop when the game starts?

Both in TGF

Why do you keep deleting and recreating posts?

Like that'll get you any help. Perhaps you should host an example file so we know where you screwed up.

Hey HBK.

I don't know if it's the right way to do it, but the method I use to detect resolution when making screensavers in MMFE (I think it's the same in TGF) is by setting a frame at the start of the APP to check it by using the built in Window Control Object and setting some conditions to check if X-Screen is greater than 1279, 1023, 799 and 639 then jumping to the frame of the correct resolution (1280x1024, 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480.)

As for the custom Mouse Pointer. I have always used that method you said and it's been good for me. Just make sure that you draw the custom pointer to point to the top left and make sure that the Action Spot and Hot Spot are all set to zeros. When I do this I don't have to place the whole cursor on a button.

Hope this has helped.
