glassJAw Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'm not a programmer but I guess I know a little about the concept and from what I see with the mouse tearing issue I think I know a solution. Is it possible to create a program that would refresh the screen every one second or something like that? I don't know if it would affect what your doing or not, but I thought maybe this could help? I'm not sure if it would be a resource hog either.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24958-an-idea-to-fix-mouse-tearing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgilmour Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mouse+artifacts from proteo: download mouse locator 1. Create a totally transparent PNG image of 20x20 px using PhotoShop or any similar software. 2. Save it in your Pictures folder (/Users/your_user_name/Pictures) with the name "MouseLocator.png" (without the quotes). 3. Open System Prefs -> Mouse Locator and deactivate-activate it. Voilà!

glassJAw Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks, I'm a little confused about this though. Where does the .png file come into play? I put it in its folderm but then I go to System Prefs, double click Mouse Locator the last part does not make sense. I deactivate it and activate it, but I see this huge green thing.

The transparent .png replaces the "big green" .png and causes the screen to be redrawn around the cursor to remove the artifacts.

glassJAw Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hmm, I don't know if mine is working, when I scroll webpages with my middle mouse button, I get artifacts.. Is that still supposed to happen? Thanks Rammjet for clarifying.

OSX86Geek Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hi there Simply hit F10 and again F10 in the active window to get rid of the mouse tearing. This will work until the window is closed. Maybe someone could find out how this can be called automatically everytime a new window is opened.
