Problem In Part 1, we changed the cursor using php-gtk's pre-defined cursors.
Now you would like to change the cursor using your self-defined image files as shown below:
Solution
Sample Code Note: The following image file is required by the sample code below. Please save a copy of the image file and put it in the same directory where you store the sample code.

Explanation This example make use of the code in Part 1.
What's new here:
- Load the image.
- Get the GdkDisplay.
- Create the cursor from the pixbuf. Note that the third and fourth parameters are the horizontal and vertical offset of the 'hotspot' of the cursor. In this case we set it at (7,7) which is the center of the maginifying glass.
- Set the cursor for the two clickable links.
- Note that if you're running this example on linux, please comment out these 3 lines and replace with the system command to launch your favorite browser.
Note
- Take note of where the three lines are located (note 1 and 2). If you set the cursor before the widgets are realized, you will get "Fatal error: Call to a member function set_cursor() on a non-object."
