Size of cursor in margin area?

[bluenlive]

Hello.

I am using a large sized mouse cursor.
However, in notepad2-mod, when I move the cursor to the margin area, the size of the cursor is reduced to the default size.
Is it possible to modify this to keep the size of the mouse cursor?

Seems related to https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2382/ and https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/code/merge-requests/37/

mouse pointer size is respected when dragging items on "Schemes -> Favorite Schemes" dialog with Copy.cur, we may need a RevereArrow.cur?

I'm not sure.
But for me, I usually use a large blue mouse cursor.
Therefore, it feels more natural to flip the cursor rather than use ReversrArrow.cur.

Thanks.

Need to find API to retrieve actual cursor size (see https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2321/).

@zufuliu
We can get actual cursor size from registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Accessibility
CursorSize
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Cursors
CursorBaseSize

But, I couldn't find API.

Added a draft implementation using HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Cursors\CursorBaseSize in 244c226.

@zufuliu
Thanks for your work.
I checked it out right away.

The code seems to be working as intended.
However, the cursor we see on the screen is jagged because the original that the program is zooming in on is a 32x32 cursor...

I think I'd better close this issue here.
Thank you for your work again.

Here may be further changes based on https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2321/.

Full fixed by 8671ed5, may still have minor code changes after the change been backported into Scintilla.

Scintilla is going to draw the reverse arrow cursor (based on C:\Windows\Cursors\arrow.svg) with code similar to 185311d and 1291ba3, the drawing code can be enabled by set line 2874 to 0:
