Cursor colour?

Sun Feb 05, 2017 5:59 pm
Is there any setting which will force the green cursor to always contrast against its background?

I use a mouse and if I change my brush size to a very small one, or use a fine-nib pen or pencil, I cannot see the green cursor against a white or pale background, meaning I have no idea where the brush stroke will be on the canvas.

That should be the normal behavior of the brush's outline shape but it is currently broken for some systems Bug #363124.
I'd appreciate it if you could post your system configuration (OS, GPU, Driver version).

Thanks :)

I'd love to help, but I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to do that. I can tell you my OS is Windows 7 and that I downloaded Krita about 10 days ago so presume it's the latest version. The rest of the info you require is beyond me. If you could tell me how I find out those things I'll gladly provide them.

In the meantime I shall try and discover how myself.

[edit]

Okay, not sure if this is what you want but:

Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5450
Driver version: 8.841.0.0
Driver model: WDDM 1.1

Unfortunately all AMD/ATI GPUs on windows seem to be affected by this..
Even though your drivers are quite outdated, upgrading won't help in this case from my experience (Radeon HD 7400M, Win8, 13.251 and 15.200).

I'm currently looking into it so I hope it will be resolved with the next krita version.

Thanks, Joefish. I updated my driver and as you suspect it hasn't fixed the issue (unless I need to restart my PC before the update is accepted).

It could be worse, I suppose. At least I can still use the program, but I look forward to a fix in the next version.
