Accessibility - Hi Contrast Cursors.

Post by NewtSoup »

Is there a signed set of high contrast cursors that can be downloaded?

I could easily change them myself but I was very surprised to find that they had signature files attached and that changing them would mark my game as **modified**

I am officially a "silver surfer" these days and my eyesight is not what it used to be. I really struggle with the grey on grey cursors that are the default and the in game access accessibility settings really are not accessibility settings, more like game play. I quite like the idea of ventures and I want to collect the achievements so getting the **modified** tag is something I wish to avoid for the time being.

Not yet, but this is one of the items on our list of desirable accessibility features.

My workaround was to increase the size, since i use 4k and the cursor is not scaled up properly even while scaling the ui.
You can increase the size in your windows settings for the mouse cursor.

I'd like to second this request. Even though my eyesight is ok, the combination of a 4k monitor with a VA panel (exhibits eome inverse ghosting) and local dimming makes the cursor hard to see when it's moving over a dark background.

I didn't even know that was possible, thanks! I had previously been using the "default (large)" cursor set in Windows, but using the normal-size cursors with the size set to 2 yields a larger cursor in X4 without being too large on the desktop.
