Sorry, I meant: s/icon/cursor/
oh yes that makes sense
Anyhow I'm partially succeeding. I created a png with a red circle on
transparent bkg with gimp, and start it as Exec rxvt -name Laser -iconic
I use as style (it took a while to me to remember the commas :-()
Style Laser Icon prova.png , StickyIcon , StickyAcrossDesks , Layer 9,
!IconTitle
I can point to the edge of the circle, and use alt-F5 to move it (if I'd
call the menu to move, the mouse pointer will be located somewhere else
too high on the left) and move the circle as a big pointer.
However until I do not click again to terminate the move, any keyboard
action (e.g. to advance slides) is inhibited.
On Monday I'll play with the Mouse command to have some other binding.
I am tempted to make the pointer a semi-transparent blur (like an enlarged
laser beam, pretty sure some gimp brush will do it).
I wonder if I could associate some function to alter style like "turning
the laser off", or parking it somewhere (bottom right), or dynamically
changing the icon (e.g. a circle or an horizontally elongated ellipse
perhaps of a few sizes).
Is dynamic changement of icon supported by fvwm ?
