** Summary changed:

- Unable to find mouse pointer when searching a region
+ [request] want to be able to deal with mousepointer (status, current icon, ...)

** Description changed:

+ ----- problem
+ in current implementation, when searching for images, the base image (a screenshot) does not contain the mouse pointer and hence cannot be searched for
+ 
+ -----------------------------------------------
+ 
  I am trying to do a match on an image of my mouse pointer. However it is
  never found when using wait(). In the script I am creating the mouse
  changes from a normal pointer to a pointer with an hourglass. I have
  managed to capture this image by using SnagIt, and my script moves the
  mouse pointer ( using hover() ) to a point on the screen where the
  background matches the background of my captured mouse image. However
  when I run my script and the mouse pointer changes from a normal mouse
  pointer to a busy mouse pointer (with an hourglass) Sikuli it not able
  to find it. I expect the mouse to be a visible part of the screen when
  searching. If it isn't, I would expect to be able to enable this
  functionality. For some applications it is the only way to see that the
  application is busy and / or has finished an operation.
  
  When I try to find the mouse pointer using a screen capture tool like
  SnagIt and then using the following code, I am able to find a match:
  
  f = Finder("mouse_pointer_zone.png")
  img = "busy_icon.png"
  f.find(img)
  while f.hasNext(): # loop as long there is a first and more matches
-         print "found: ", f.next() # access the next match in the row
+         print "found: ", f.next() # access the next match in the row
  
  print f.hasNext() # is False, because f is empty now
  f.destroy() # release the memory used by finder
  
  So it seems that the problem is localized to the Region.find() method.
  
  I'm using Sikuli 1.0.0 32-bit on Windows XP and Java 1.6.
