I have recently upgraded to Windows 7.
I use rdesktop from my linux desktop to remote in.
The Win7 system default mouse pointer theme is white with a black outline. However, when using rdesktop, the black outline is not displayed, rendering the pointer invisible when on a white background.
I have tried using the black pointer theme, but there one or two pointers which don't have a black counterpart (eg: the pointing finger for when you mouse over a url) - these too disappear.
This problem does not occur on WinXP.
Is there any way to get a black outline on rdesktop to Win7?
1Have you tried downloading and compiling the latest version of rdesktop? I had the same problem, and this worked for me. – Derek Pressnall – 2013-02-10T23:21:35.250
