Re: Changing or hiding the cursor in a background app?

I have worked around this limitation in FastScripts (although sometimes it doesn't seem to work and I haven't yet figured that out) by investigating and taking advantage of the "Apple Internal" hook that Apple exposes to let their own applications take advantage of this valid UI control. Below is an example of some code that you might benefit from. It goes without saying that this code is completely unsupported and might stop working at any time. Consider using it a form of civil disobedience:

Is there a less tweaky way of doing this and I've simply fallen behind the times? Please let me (us, the developer community!) know...

There's no less tweaky way of doing this, but I think we might have a bug report requesting the ability to do this in an official manner already. It would be helpful (if you haven't already) to file another bug, just to make sure - send me the bug number if you do. Always a good idea to file a bug requesting an official way to do something when you find yourself wanting to use SPI.
