Cannot set Hand cursor in .theme file.

[Tom_B]

Hello, i'm trying to edit an existing theme file. The Hand cursor refuses to set using the .theme file.

Heres what I have:

[Control Panel\Cursors]
Arrow=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Normal.cur
Help=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Help.cur
AppStarting=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Working.ani
Wait=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Busy.ani
NWPen=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Hand.cur
No=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Unavailable.ani
SizeNS=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_V.ani
SizeWE=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_H.ani
Crosshair=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Cross.cur
IBeam=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_text.ani
SizeNWSE=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_1.ani
SizeNESW=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_2.ani
SizeAll=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Move.cur
UpArrow=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Alternate.cur
Hand=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Link.ani
DefaultValue=Windows default
Link=%WinDir%resources\Themes\ChaNinja\Cursors\ChaN_Link.ani

However, Hand is not being set. The file exists and the path is correct. I get the default hand.

Any ideas?

Just set everything up the way you want it. eg sound scheme, mourse cursor, window fonts, window size, theme and desktop background. Once this is to your liking, go to Display Propeties / Themes tab and choose SAVE AS. save the theme file and copy the theme file to your UA cd. When windows loads this theme file it will also load all the other options you have set,

Just add the THEME location to your WINNT.SIF

@eluSive_NZ All cursors work, only the hand cursor

Does anyone know the names of the default windows cursors, I am having a hard time determining which ones are the standard default and which ones arent, the only ones i can tell apat are the gold,blue and stupid dinosaur ones. lol

make it an .cur instead of .ani

I'm using fedora Inverse and it doesn't work for me...

How does your Control Panel\ Cusors section look on your theme file?

[zedox]

How do you declare the hand/link cursor in the .theme file?

This is my cursors part in a .theme file. It works

[Control Panel\Cursors]Arrow=%WinDir%Cursors\Aero Cursors\aero_arrow.cur

Help=%WinDir%Cursors\Aero Cursors\aero_helpsel.cur

AppStarting=%WinDir%Cursors\Aero Cursors\aero_working.ani

Wait=%WinDir%Cursors\Aero Cursors\aero_busy.ani

NWPen=%WinDir%Cursors\Aero Cursors\aero_pen.cur

No=%WinDir%Cursors\Aero Cursors\aero_unavail.cur

SizeNESW=%WinDir%Cursors\Aero Cursors\aero_nesw.cur

SizeAll=%WinDir%Cursors\Aero Cursors\aero_move.cur

UpArrow=%WinDir%Cursors\Aero Cursors\aero_alt.cur

DefaultValue=Aero Cursors (Alphablended)

Link=

I had to install the cursors first.

Link= or Hand= doesn't seem to work for me with the Fedora set.
