Crosshairs color

Post by andrew » Wed Oct 29, 2014 2:22 pm

From a QCAD user:
When selecting a tool like trim or lengthen the crosshair turns black. The only way to see it is by crossing over a line. Is this a configuration setting that I can change?

Your mouse cursor should look exactly like shown here:

I.e. a black cross with a white border. This is to ensure that the cursor is indeed visible on both dark and bright backgrounds.

If that is not the case, please indicate:
- what operating system you are using (name and version)
- if you are using the free QCAD community edition or QCAD Pro
- the exact QCAD version

You might also want to check if you are using some kind of mouse cursor package to override the look of all mouse cursors.

I am having the same problem. When trying to select geometry, cursor is not visible. What is the solution?
