[Q] Where is the mouse pointer icon located? I need to change it.

[shadowofdarkness]

I just bought a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and when I connected the mouse I found that I couldn't find it when it was on a dark background and I would like to know what apk the picture file is in so I can swap it out for one that isn't black and blue on a black and blue themed rom.

That isn't my problem just the color of the mouse is the same as the theme and I want to change it to a computer standard white with black edge so that it's easily viewable in contrast to the black background.

I am not changing the whole theme I just want to replace the mouse with stock since it was themed by the rom maker.

All I am asking is for the location of the image file, something like

some.apk/res/drawable...

and maybe a way to make it bigger but that isn't as important.

The rom maker may know where your mouse is ???

Woohoo I finally found it by extracting the couple main system apks I knew of and manually looking at every image in the res directory until I found it.

For reference it was framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/pointer_arrow.png

Now could someone please do me a favor since I am on vacation and using a very crappy free WiFi that is slow and bad signal to the point of cutting in and out every few seconds.

Could someone attach just that file or the framework-res.apk that has the stock white mouse pointer since I can't download a full rom to extract it myself.



Edit: ignore my request I just realized that is what Gimp is for and edited it myself.
