Short: Kludge fix for AGA mouse pointer problem
Uploader: i942327@redgum.ucnv.edu.au
Author: i942327@redgum.ucnv.edu.au
You've just bought that brand new AGA machine, and immediately decide
to switch the mouse pointer to Hires mode via the new Prefs/Pointer
program. Very happy with your new pointer, you then decide to load your
favourite terminal program (or anything that uses sprites), and what
happens? The mouse pointer changes the pointer resolution again, going
into Super-Hires mode! This looks extremely ugly with the standard
pointer. :-(
This program is nothing more than a quick hack. What it does is simply
to display a transparent sprite on the screen, which causes the mouse
pointer to go into Super-Hires mode. When you combine this with the new
supplied pointer graphic, what you have is now a STABLE (resolution-wise)
mouse pointer, and one less sprite.
