NAME

SYNTAX

int XRecolorCursor(Display *display, Cursor cursor, XColor
*foreground_color, XColor *background_color);

int XFreeCursor(Display *display, Cursor cursor);

Status XQueryBestCursor(Display *display, Drawable d, unsigned int
width, unsigned int height, unsigned int *width_return,
unsigned int *height_return);

ARGUMENTS

background_color
Specifies the RGB values for the background of the source.

cursor Specifies the cursor.

d Specifies the drawable, which indicates the screen.

display Specifies the connection to the X server.

foreground_color
Specifies the RGB values for the foreground of the source.

width

height Specify the width and height of the cursor that you want
the size information for.

width_return

height_return

DESCRIPTION

The XRecolorCursor function changes the color of the specified
cursor, and if the cursor is being displayed on a screen, the change
is visible immediately. The pixel members of the XColor structures
are ignored; only the RGB values are used.

XRecolorCursor can generate a BadCursor error.

The XFreeCursor function deletes the association between the cursor
resource ID and the specified cursor. The cursor storage is freed
when no other resource references it. The specified cursor ID should
not be referred to again.

XFreeCursor can generate a BadCursor error.

Some displays allow larger cursors than other displays. The
XQueryBestCursor function provides a way to find out what size
cursors are actually possible on the display. It returns the largest
size that can be displayed. Applications should be prepared to use
smaller cursors on displays that cannot support large ones.

XQueryBestCursor can generate a BadDrawable error.

DIAGNOSTICS

BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined
Cursor.

BadDrawable
A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined
Window or Pixmap.
