Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2003 23:27:34 -0400 From: Darrell Walisser Subject: Yet another OS X cursor bug The synopsis: 1. Call SDL_ShowCursor(0); 2. Call SDL_SetVideoMode(); 3. Call SDL_GetEvent(); 3. Call SDL_ShowCursor(1); The result: Sometimes the cursor doesn't come back! Ack! Oddly enough, it does come back when mousing over the dock or clicking in the menu bar. But that's besides the point. The reason why this is happening is a flaw in the handling of activation/deactivation events. The short explanation is that the HideCursor() and ShowCursor() calls must be balanced, but if the cursor was initially hidden, HideCursor() was called again on the activate event - so now the next ShowCursor() fails (as does the next, and the next, for some reason). So, here's the patch. All it does is keep track of the HideCursor()/ShowCursor() calls so that they will always be balanced.

.TH "SDL_SetColors" "3" "Tue 11 Sep 2001, 23:01" "SDL" "SDL API Reference" 
.SH "NAME"
SDL_SetColors\- Sets a portion of the colormap for the given 8-bit surface\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fB#include "SDL\&.h"
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_SetColors\fP\fR(\fBSDL_Surface *surface, SDL_Color *colors, int firstcolor, int ncolors\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Sets a portion of the colormap for the given 8-bit surface\&.
.PP
When \fBsurface\fR is the surface associated with the current display, the display colormap will be updated with the requested colors\&. If \fBSDL_HWPALETTE\fP was set in \fISDL_SetVideoMode\fR flags, \fBSDL_SetColors\fP will always return \fB1\fR, and the palette is guaranteed to be set the way you desire, even if the window colormap has to be warped or run under emulation\&.
.PP
The color components of a \fI\fBSDL_Color\fR\fR structure are 8-bits in size, giving you a total of 256^3 =16777216 colors\&.
.PP
Palettized (8-bit) screen surfaces with the \fBSDL_HWPALETTE\fP flag have two palettes, a logical palette that is used for mapping blits to/from the surface and a physical palette (that determines how the hardware will map the colors to the display)\&. \fBSDL_SetColors\fP modifies both palettes (if present), and is equivalent to calling \fISDL_SetPalette\fR with the \fBflags\fR set to \fB(SDL_LOGPAL | SDL_PHYSPAL)\fP\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
If \fBsurface\fR is not a palettized surface, this function does nothing, returning \fB0\fR\&. If all of the colors were set as passed to \fBSDL_SetColors\fP, it will return \fB1\fR\&. If not all the color entries were set exactly as given, it will return \fB0\fR, and you should look at the surface palette to determine the actual color palette\&.
