Problem to set cursor image
« on: October 05, 2020, 10:44:41 pm »
Hello,
i'm trying to change the cursor image using sf::Cursor loadFromPixels (...).

It compiles without problems, but the result shows strange white lines in the cursor.
Im using the latest Ubuntu version.

My Code:
#include "CPP.hpp"
#include "SFML.hpp"

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
        sf::RenderWindow renderWindow(sf::VideoMode(900, 600, 32), "cur", sf::Style::None);

        sf::Image curimg;
        curimg.loadFromFile("cursor.png");
        sf::Cursor cur;
        cur.loadFromPixels(curimg.getPixelsPtr(), curimg.getSize(), sf::Vector2u(0,0));
        renderWindow.setMouseCursor(cur);

        while(renderWindow.isOpen()) {
                sf::Event event;
                while(renderWindow.pollEvent(event))
                        if(event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                renderWindow.close();

                renderWindow.clear(sf::Color::White);
                renderWindow.display();
        }

        return 0;
}
 

In the attachment you can find the image that i used.

I think it remains to the warning in the documentation https://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/2.5.1/classsf_1_1Cursor.php#ac24ecf82ac7d9ba6703389397f948b3a

On Unix, the pixels are mapped into a monochrome bitmap: pixels with an alpha channel to 0 are transparent, black if the RGB channel are close to zero, and white otherwise.

But i dont know how to fix this, or is there a workaround?

Thanks

We recently had some changes in that area for Linux, I'd suggest you grab the master branch and build SFML from source.
