Changing Mouse Pointer Attributes

Hi,

I am designing a Developer6i system for use across a range of platforms (NT desktops, NT laptops, Citrix, and very old laptops with Citrix).
The system works perfectly, but on the old laptops the mouse pointer is almost impossible to see; white pointer against a light grey background.
We have tried darkening the background of the forms, but it is still an issue.
Is it possible to change the Mouse Pointer attributes from within the application. Ideally it should be Black rather than White.
I have found the 'system_cursor' property which allows us to change the type of pointer, but have been unable to find a Color property that can be changed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Regards,
Jeremy
 
In fact you may change only CURSOR_STLYLE application property thus only choose from a predefined set of ones (BUSY, WAIT ...). You should change it on OS level. Regards, Dima
