SetCursor borked?

I've made a nice 32x32 .blp mouse cursor image, and am attempting to use it by simply adding a SetCursor("path\filename.blp") to my "kitchen sink" addon. I'm getting nothing.

Am I doing it wrong, or was this feature removed?

Try "Interface\\AddOns\\ADDONNAME\\file.file"

I've tried assuming that it knows you are in your AddOn's directory, but I'm pretty sure it only likes the full thing :P

Hope this helps!

It does want the entire path since it is possible to use textures from the core game too.
This is always relative to WoW's installation directory.

From http://www.wowwiki.com/API_SetCursor

Quote:

If the cursor is hovering over WorldFrame, the SetCursor function will have no effect - cursor is locked to reflect what the player is currently pointing at.

Also, according to http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/SetCursor

Quote:

Normally used in a frame's OnEnter handler to change the cursor used while the mouse is over the frame. If used elsewhere, the cursor will likely be immediately reverted to default (due to the mouse handlers of other frames doing the same).

Well crap. Guess the days of the custom cursor are over, then.

Did Blizz ever offer any reason behind why they've disallowed the old method (the putting of custom cursors in an Interface\CURSOR directory to overwrite the stock ones)?

Not really - you can do a hack-job of it with screen coords in an OnUpdate.
