halo around mouse

[LED47]

I would like to put a halo around my mouse and be able to see it in both panel and diagram.

I know how to add that in windows in general and I get the correct operation however if I move on to lab view then the only place I really see the halo is in the toolbar?

Before I try to figure this out for myself I was wondering if there is a specific procedure to accomplish this?

Presumably, the reason you don't get the general OS cursor is that LV has a number of custom cursors (wiring, breakpoints, etc.), so it just does all the drawing of the cursors on its own.

I don't think I know of any built in way of changing it during edit off the top of my head. I think what I would do if I really wanted this is run a daemon in the background which would read the mouse position and place a semi-transparent window with a hole in it (for clicking) over the current mouse position. This requires a few LV and Windows tricks and feels a bit janky, so the question is how badly do you want it?

Another option might be screen recording software. I believe they do show the halo in LV as well, but I don't know if it's shown while using the device and having it be recorded all the time is probably not practical.

Thank you for the response, turns out I don't really want it that bad
