Changing the cross-like cursor when drawing
How can I change the shape of the cursor, when drawing, to be something different from the not-clear cross. I need it something like obvious bold arrow even when drawing. This is very important when recording lectures.
Hi! You'll have to change the xpm's that get compiled in. Or better yet change the code to have several choices.

Can you direct me or give an example; I have never written LISP package. On Oct 23, 2015 10:38 AM, "Christian Beier" [email protected] wrote:

The cursors are XPM file here https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx/tree/master/src (for example the cross https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx/blob/master/src/paint_cursor.xpm) that get included in code a C array. Maybe you can add more and make them selectable or implement dynamic loading of PNGs or the like...
In fact, getting into this will take me so long. Could you please do a favor and produce a new version with, at least, red thick cursor.
I record free online courses in CS and Eng. using your tool and it would be much more clear for students to have the cursor red and/or thick.
Thanks so much. On Oct 23, 2015 8:17 PM, "Christian Beier" [email protected] wrote:

This will take me some time as well, which I don't have atm. You can edit https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx/blob/master/src/paint_cursor.xpm yourself and I'd be happy to merge your PR.
General update: issues with Gromit-MPX can now be funded at https://issuehunt.io/r/bk138/gromit-mpx
Now, it is 5 years after I posted this issue. Thanks so much for your great tool. Now, I started installing the new version from the AUR of archlinux. It seems that there is no way to define my customed pen, in contrast to the old version where I could define paint_cursor.xpm and compile. Right?
Hi @DrWaleedAYousef, https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx/blob/master/src/paint_cursor.xpm is still there and its contents can still be changed.
Is there a way to provide that features in the recent and successive version?

To be honest, it's not on the top of my agenda. Thus, I see two ways: 1) implement the feature on ones own so I just have to merge a pull request or b) put out a bounty on issuehunt for someone to pick up, in turn making it more probable that this feature gets implemented.
