Background progress cursor animation looping error (Windows bug?)

Open WinkelCode opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Tested here: http://elektronotdienst-nuernberg.de/bugs/cursor.html

Everytime it loops the pointer part of the cursor jumps approximately one pixel to the left for one or two frames. Interestingly the exact same issue also happens with these cursors: https://az4521.deviantart.com/art/Breeze-Cursors-for-Windows-628166238

Could this be a bug with how Windows centers the cursor image?

Update: This cursor for example doesn't have this issue: https://in-dolly.deviantart.com/art/Updated-ElCapitan-cursors-593804414

it's very possible that I made a slight error when making the windows cursors. There's no programmatic way to create cursors on Windows to my knowledge, I had to manually convert images, centre them, and animate them using some software I don't remember the name of.

If you have any tips for automating the build process for Windows, I'd welcome them. Alternatively, submit a PR with a patch, but I don't plan on updating the Windows cursors any time soon.

I love these cursors and was also very annoyed by these pixel jumps, so I fixed it.. the origin point for "working in background" was misaligned across the frames. myCapitain-Cursors.zip

I've been using these cursors for many years on linux and windows, they're awesome(on linux); windows -> so so, looks/feels a bit different, never knew what it was; used your build elabjer for a week and it looks great on windows now; thank you for looking into this and fixing it.
