Description Sven Gothel 2013-01-25 14:03:43 CET 
- MousePointerRender interface optionally pluggable into NEWT Window.

- MousePointerRender will allow display of a Mouse Pointer on console devices
  like RaspPi.

- MousePointerRender will allow custom mouse pointer rendering w/ NEWT.
  - A user simply makes the pointer invisible (alsready supported) and
  - Plugs in the instance (see below)

- Have GL2ES1 and GL2ES2 MousePointerRender implementations
  to be supported w/ GLWindow

Comment 2 Sven Gothel 2014-01-09 18:32:39 CET 
Remove idea of GL rendered mouse pointer.

Utilizing PointerIcon for Rasp.-Pi - i.e. native BCM_VC layer.

    .. shameless inspired by KDE's Oxgen scheme .. (they are best)


commit bf0e93260dbd6cb8b6ee0cd10d81341906e62da9

    Bug 676 - Add support for native Mouse Pointer rendering (Rasp.-Pi.)
    
    - Utilizing layer element 2000 for PointerIcon
    
    - Using NEWT PointerIcon code
    
    - Using MouseListener to update PointerIcon position
      - FIXME: Check whether we shall intercept sendMouseEvent directly (lag)
    
    Misc:
      - Properly open, assign and close the BCM display handle
      - Properly destroy the window (BCM element)
      - Prepare for multiple windows, set position and size

commit 667eca532d3749b0f08e694f36624ff7f621a9c8

    Bug 676 - Add support for native Mouse Pointer rendering (Rasp.-Pi.) - Intercept sendMouseEvent(..)
    
    Intercepting 'sendMouseEvent(..)' to reduce the lag (time) and listener footprint.
