Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 22:05:32 -0400 From: Bob Ippolito Subject: [SDL] SDL_QuartzWM patches I've sent in two small patches to SDL_QuartzWM directly to Sam over the past few months (well, I think I sent both anyway) and neither of them have been implemented. I didn't receive a response, so I'm sure he was just busy and/or they got lost, so I decided to sign up to the list and post them here. This patch rolls both of them together: - Mouse cursor becomes visible if hidden when it moves outside of the game window. If you want it to stay invisible you should warp it because if it's not warped a user might click some random other application! Commercial games behave in this way (or at least Warcraft III does, which is the only one that uses a custom mouse cursor and no warping that I've played in recent memory). - Right mouse button emulation is changed from Command-Click to Control-Click, which is how OS X behaves. Consider copyright assigned to whomever needs it under whichever license it needs to be under.. yadda yadda yadda.
