Empty cursor - how to??

OpenGL Development
#1

I am trying ot make an empty (transparent) cursor, but I am having no luck. From what I have read, the code below should work, but I still get a 1x1 dot.


  public void hideCursor() {
    
    IntBuffer databuffer = GeoUtils.newIntBuffer(4);
    databuffer.put( new int[]{0,0,0,0} );
    databuffer.flip();
    
    try {
      Cursor empty = new Cursor(1,1, 0, 0, 1, databuffer, null);
      Mouse.setNativeCursor(empty);
      
    } catch (LWJGLException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

It looks simple, but I have spent hours trying byte buffers and converting them to int buffers, actually creating a transparent image and sending that, etc…no luck. It’s probably something obvious, but I give up…what am I missing?

PS: I don’t want to use setGrabbed(true) because I already have an entire API for handling the mouse.

		IntBuffer databuffer = Buffers.getIntBuffer(16*16);
		databuffer.clear();
		for(int i=0;i<16*16;i++)
			databuffer.put(0x00000000);
		databuffer.limit(16*16);
		databuffer.rewind();

		try {
		  Cursor empty = new Cursor(16,16, 0, 0, 1, databuffer, null);
		  Mouse.setNativeCursor(empty);

		} catch (LWJGLException e) {
		  e.printStackTrace();
		}

That works. Everything smaller than 16x16 doesnt.

And so it does…thanks!
