Windows 10: Why does my mouse look like this on some fullscreen applications talking about the symbols...

Basically in some programs, like Roblox or rpcs3 when in fullscreen my mouse has these weird symbols above it and lags a bit, disappears if I tab out and doesn't show on screenshots

:)

 

Mouse not showing in fullscreen games

To further isolate your concern regarding on your mouse, we'd like to know the following:

• If your concern also happens by replacing the mouse.
• If the game application is in the window mode while you are playing.
• The make and model of your mouse.
• If you already updated your display or graphics driver.

We're looking forward to your response.

 

"Scroll Inactive Window" does not respect Fullscreen application in multi-monitor config

when "Scroll Inactive Window" (settings > devices > mouse/touchpad > Scroll Inactive Window when I hover over them) is active it performs inconstantly with fullscreen applications, and the way the mouse performs otherwise with an application in Fullscreen
display mode. the feature works fine otherwise, but this side effect makes it frustrating.

for productivity this feels functional, and fluid. this mostly impacts things like games, but it still does not feel intended, or consisted with what Fullscreen is supposed to entail, or what things are actually constrained.

expected: in fullscreen mode the mouse is supposed to be completely constrained to the given screen/monitor, and all interactions of the mouse are expected to only interact with the window the mouse is locked to. for the most part this is why borderless-fullscreen
(or fullscreen borderless windowed mode) was implemented to have a program appear like fullscreen, but allow the mouse to behave like windowed mode.

issue: when running a fullscreen application like a game with "Scroll Inactive Window..." active, and using the mouse in the program, if the mouse would logically leave the fullscreen application "Scroll Inactive Window" will function even though any other
button of the mouse will do nothing, and with the logical position of the mouse being invisible to the user. this occurs with most any fullscreen application, and impacts multi monitor configurations.

example: having a program running in fullscreen mode (most prevalent in games), with a youtube video (could be a text document/webpage), and have the mouse logically leave the fullscreen application (if left monitor is non-primary then run mouse to the left)
then use scroll wheel. this is inconstant as clicks and secondary buttons do not function.

can this feature either respect fullscreen display mode, or maybe have a sub toggle for "use Fullscreen mouse lock"

 

How do I find/use different symbols for the mouse on the screen?

Still fighting the ableism of Microsoft and other new software, I have to change the symbols used for mouse indicators on the screen. I can go in and make choices from the meager list of available symbols within Windows but they are significantly inadequate.

I do not know where they are stored in the software, what kind of files they are, what other symbols might be available for download, or how to create my own.

Suggestions appreciated.
