Chinese input method : mouse cursor in red

[Philippe Plagnol]

Hello,

 

I modified a script in AHK (initially for korean) to change the color of the cursor when the chinese method is selected  

 

I use the windows simplified Chinese input method, you can change the cursor pictures in the zip file but need to compile the AHK file with the compiler you will find on autohotkey.com (the UI is like this :

 

ChineseCursorMouse.zip

So by having the cursor of the mouse in a certain color when you input, you avoid to input in the wrong mode and then to delete and restart as it happens all the time,...

it's better that way BUT, I personally think that it's not the good way to do, it should be the caret that blink that should be changed, but impossible to do with AHK, it should be done inside of the active window

 

for example, if I want to make that the blinking caret (sorry I don't know what is the exact word) change of color when I'm in chinese mode, when I'm in Chrome, then I should develop a specific program in Chrome to handle this functionality ...
