Hello Iordan Iordanov, please help me with a problem. I connect to my personal computer via RDP, and your program works wonderfully. All mouse buttons, unlike the original Microsoft RDP application, work perfectly. However, there is one issue. I use Archicad software for designing on my PC. When using the computer version of RDP, the mouse cursor in the program changes depending on its position relative to the elements of the program (see screenshots 1, 2, 3). When connecting through Android using your program, I have one significant problem. Please take a look at screenshot 4. The issue is: 1) In your program, the cursor does not change (for comparison, in the official Android Microsoft RDP app, the cursor changes based on its context in the program). 2) The standard Android cursor partially obscures the cursor in your program. It would be great if there was an option to disable the system Android cursor in your program.
Is it possible to make the cursor functional? Additionally, can its color be changed to match the program (black)?
And thank you very much for your support through the purchase of the license for the program. 1.jpg3.jpg2.jpg4.jpg

Hi Andrei,

Cursor shape change updates are a nice feature request for aRDP. There is an existing request at https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients/issues/426

that you can add your voice to.

I would have already implemented this for my own convenience, but the library that aRDP uses doesn't expose this feature to its mobile APIs, so it will be a significant piece of work to get this done even though it seems like a tiny change.

If more people ask for it, I will prioritize it higher, of course.

Sincerely,
Iordan
