Mouse cursor shadow works wrong in Win2000

Post by *Flint »

On the Russian forum there was a report about mouse cursor shadows. I have performed some tests on the Parallels virtual machine (I don't have real Win2000 installed) and in True Color 24-bit display mode there are problems (look at the screenshot):

In all other modes including True Color 32-bit the cursor works fine.

OK, I will turn off cursor shadows in 24-bit mode (and only enable them in 32-bit mode). Strangely, the standard windows cursors all have shadows, even in 16-bit mode! Any ideas why it doesn't work with custom cursors?

I too noticed that but unfortunately, no idea... :(

Confirm that TC7pb3 uses the cursors without shadows in Win2000 24-bit mode. So, may be treated as fixed.
