Oct 15, 2019 Mousecape. A free cursor manager for Mac OS 10.8+ built using private, nonintrusive CoreGraphics APIs. How it works. Mousecape works by calling the API calls that Apple uses to initialize the system cursors in the system and it registers a daemon that will automatically apply the cursor on login and when cursors get unregistered. Feb 12, 2017 I have a MacBook Pro and Mac Wireless mouse. My work uses Windows 10 PCs. How would I connect my Mac mouse to a Windows 10 PC? MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 Posted on Feb 12, 2017 9:12 AM. Reply I have this question too (462) I.
We are currently planning to migrate to a different platform for the forum. We will announce this fact both here and on Twitter, once we have settled on a solution.
Mousecape For Mac
in Customisation
Hello,
Github Mousecape
I have been using Zettlr for several months, and I think it is a very efficient and elegant tool!
I enjoy the dark theme, but the mouse pointer does not really stand out from the background (I am on Mac):
I waste quite a lot of time loosing it and finding it again, so would it be possible to change its color for white ?

Thank you very much !

- edited January 30The mouse pointer is out of the realm of the app, because the font that it uses is determined by the operating system. Little snitch 4.4.3 for macos. But you can wiggle the cursor around to make it bigger, then you'll find it again!Alternatively you could brighten up the background a little bit with Custom CSS! Proteus 2000 patch editor.
- Thanks for your quick answer.For those who would have the same issue, I found a way to customise the mouse cursor on Mac using Mousecape (https://github.com/alexzielenski/Mousecape) and modifying the cursor on Photoshop. Now it really stands out from the background:There is only one drawback: I have to run Mousecape each time I restart my computer.
I sometimes find the Java setup on my various Apple devices to be a mystery.
Recently, I was trying to get a Java applet to run in the same way on 2 iMacs and my MacBook Air. The applet is a simple vpn client from Juniper that lets me access a Citrix Desktop from any Mac that I can install the Citrix receiver client on so I can work on 'Company stuff' from a large screen iMac when I'm sat at home or from my MacBook when I'm on the road (it works fine over 3/4G).
The first thing is that you have to do some configuring of both Java and Safari to get the applet to run at all.
Once that was all done, I could log in from all my Macs, fire up the applet and establish a secure connection.
On two of the Macs, as soon as I fired up the Citrix app, the Java vpn window would show 'error'. The console showed a Java crash. But on the third Mac, everything worked fine. I made sure that the Safari and Java preferences were set the same on each machine but still no joy. Then I remembered that I had done some Java development in the past and installed various jdks from Oracle so I ran:
in Terminal on each machine. I keep everything up to date via the Java control panel (currently 1.7xx soon to be 1.8) so was surprised to see this:
That was on the working Mac. Then I remembered the difference between 'System' Java, Java plugins, and Java development kits. Simply put, you can have multiple versions of Java in different places. What was happening on the not-working Macs was that the jdk versions were being used, and the Juniper vpn client won't work with them.
To fix things for the moment I simply removed the jdk folders.
And then checked that the reported version of Java was 1.6 on each Mac. Web applets still use the up to date, secure version 1.7 plugin.
[crarko adds: I believe Oracle has said that eventually Java will no longer support applets at all, on any platform.]
