78362 - `spinning' cursor on Mac should have a 1px white outline

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Build: 2001043008, Mac OS 9.1

To reproduce:
*   Go to <http://segfault.org/>. For best results, do this on a slow
    connection, and clear your cache first.
*   While the images are loading, move the cursor over part of the black
    background.

What you see:
*   Two little white triangles.

What you should see:
*   A white outline of a pointing arrow, and a white outline of a beachball (of
    which two little white triangles are a part).

This is as a result of the new cursor resource which was checked in to fix bug 
49173. The cursors I drew are here:
*   <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=13680>
*   <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=13681>
*   <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=13682>
*   <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=13683>

In that bug, I wrote:
|
| I can't tell from Apple's documentation whether the white outline around
| cursors is part of the cursor, or whether it's added by Mac OS; I'm guessing
| the latter. If it's the former, let me know and I'll add the outline and
| attach revised versions.

Obviously my guess was wrong. But how do I add the outline for someone to check 
it in? Is it as simple as making a three-color GIF, where the three colors are 
black, white, and transparent?

no gif, you need to give us a 'CURS' resource, made from resEdit or resourcerer.

Attachment: rsrc file containing the four CURSs, only one of which will probably be seen for a while :-)

The outline comes from the mask used in the CURS resource. Does this attachment 
fix that?

Comment 4

[Andrew Thompson]

Did you binhex the attachment before sending it? The resource fork seems to be 
gone!

I tweaked the mask of the existing ball/pointer cursor, and checked it in. So 
this bug should remain only if we want the ball to spin.

Attachment: Binhexed version of the above file

Comment 7

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

As noted in the dependency (which might now be the wrong way round?), making 
the cursor spin is a separate bug -- bug 78363. So assuming Simon just tweaked 
the mask of the single static cursor, the masks for the other three cursors 
still need to be changed.

Spinning cursor in 20030311 OSX has white outline.

Comment 9

[Andrew Thompson]

It still doesn't look right though.
Zooming in I see that the cursor isn't actually the right shape on OS X.

I guess that's a new bug though.
