I've been playing with the software on my Vista laptop (waiting for my RB to be delivered), and can't see the cursor on a dark map.

Would it not be sensible to make the cursor a reversed colour over the map? I can't find a way to fix this within the Airnav software.

Brian,

If I remember, this is a Vista "theme" setting rather than a RB problem.  Tarbat knows how to fix this.

Edit: Maybe it wasn't tarbat - I've just found this old post by Spotter70:

Hello
I have found out the problem
i had to adjust the cursor section in the mouse properties under "Precision select"
Seems to have done the trick Phew!!

Yes, I suppose what I want is a .cur file editor so I can create my own cursor.

Problem is, since this is a system wide choice, if the cursor I create has a similar problem in another application, I then have a problem there instead.

A better solution would be for RB to use it's own cursor that could be varied depending on the map colour in use.
