How to make Java Swing applications display the mouse cursor effect of Compiz mouse plugin (Ubuntu)

2020-08-02 • Java

Compiz showmouse plugin has some good effects on people with low vision Unfortunately, these effects do not work in out of the box Java applications How can I make my java swing application display mouse effects like other applications? I only care about supporting Linux users (mainly Linux mint and Ubuntu) The Java application uses nimbus L & F, which is a NetBeans single frame application (but I use gridbaglayout to build all frames manually) I need the Compiz mouse effect to be consistent in my application, as long as the system enables the Compiz effect

Solution

I created a simple swing framework:

import javax.swing.*;

public class A extends JFrame {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    A a = new A();
    a.setSize(100,100);
    a.setVisible(true);
}
}

I run it on JDK 1.6:

$java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.10) (Gentoo build 1.6.0_22-b22)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b10,mixed mode)

I enabled the show mouse effect, which runs right at the top of the swing window

Please elaborate on your problem What does not work and what is the specific configuration
