Hi humam2104,

thanks for the post and report. This is intentional. We do deliberately use our own cursors for certain things, other use allow the System Cursors for, like resize or move.

warm regards
Best regards

Hello, humam2104

At the moment, no, there is no way to change the cursor within our software. To my knowledge this is not a planned feature for the future either.

Kind regards,

+1 for this.
I would have also loved to have the option to change the appearance of different cursors in PDF-xce to my own custom designs.

+ more options on size/scale etc. of the cursor

Hi, MedBooster

I've posted this as a request and we will have to see what the devs say.

I should point out that right now we are overloaded with feature requests, it makes the team reluctant to add tot he list. We will have to see what they say.

Kind regards,

Hi, guys

just a heads up that the request was formally rejected at this time because we have our own cursors for the Hand tool. Also other our competitor seems have the same.

Maybe there is already an option to increase the size of the cursor without increasing the overall DPI scaling of the program? :)

Hello MedBooster,

Does this cursor size not look big enough on your monitor?
