Crosshair color & size - update?

Post by dculp001 »

I would to set the crosshair color (and size) in Sketcher. This had been asked in 2013 (viewtopic.php?t=3722) but I wanted to see if there had been any enhancements since then.

Thanks,
Don C.

No, as far as I know it is not easily possible, that cursor icon is defined by an XPM image file embedded in another file in the source code.

If you use the default background colour or something else that contrasts with white then of course the icon is easily visible. If you go to the PartDesign workbench and then preferences you will see that you can change the colour of many other things though, like for example the text that displays next to the cross hair mouse pointer icon.
