Re: Changing cursor

[John Cupitt <john cupitt ng-london org uk>]

Hi, you need GdkCursor. See:

 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Cursors.html

You can use gtk_window_list_toplevels() to get all the windows making up your application, then set a cursor for each one. Make a timeout callback and change the cursor in that to animate it.
