Ultra tiny dot cursor

Post by cgytm »

I am totally new to this and a dummy user! I just got this working perfectly and really satisfied BUT I may not use this software as I got an ultra tiny cursor as a client. It is an almost invisible white dot. That makes the software useless as I have to search for the cursor 90% of the time!!! Is there a procedure to make that cursor decently visible? May be a patch? I can't imagine and believe that those who hardly worked on this made such an elementary error. I am on Windows 8.1. Many thanks!

(1)track local
(2)let remote server deal with cursor
(3) no cursor

1) require vnchook.dll, else shape can not be tracked and dot is shown
2) always works, a cusor is handles as a^n image change
3) dot cursor

Thanks for the quick reply! I don't understand too much what you try to explain... I selected ALL 3 possibilities and everyone still shows the tiny dot.

I finally got a bigger and "non standard (round with an inner cross)" dot by selecting "single window". This is a big help as I see now a cursor.

Will that tiny dot problem be fixed with a standard cursor on a next version?

Anyone else has this issue ? How to get only the dot.
I'm unable to repeat this.

Are you using the default server settings ?
OS ?
running as service ?

Please try to give as many info as possible
pm ( ultravnc.ini) erase the passwd in it.
Sorry, but first we need to be able to repeat it before we can fix something.

Viewer
press [delete saved settings] button to be sure you use the default.
