We need a little more information than that.
Can you provide us with a .love or at least a code snippet?

I know how to fix it I think.

I assume you have the image that you want, correct? And you've hidden your mouse cursor, correct? Here are the steps:

1) Get your image.
2) Do the following code:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
    love.mouse.setVisible(false)
    mouseImage = love.graphics.newImage("imageName")
end

function love.update(dt)
    mouseX, mouseY = love.mouse.getPosition() -- If it doesn't work here move it to the bottom after you update everything.
    
    -- Other game generating stuff
end

function love.draw()
    -- Other code stuff. THIS NEEDS TO BE AT THE BOTTOM!!
    love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255,0) -- The extra 0 makes sure it's fully visible, but it's not needed
    love.graphics.draw( mouseImage, mouseX, mouseY )
end

This should fix it. Hope it helped!!

EDIT: Maybe consider putting these types of questions in the "Support and Development" section.

Setting the alpha to 0 will actuallt make the image fully invisible. You should just remove that argument as it will default to 255 which is full opacity.

Oh, thanks! I thought it was the other way around. I never work with Alpha(except in MBG2, that was a heck of a time with the fade in's and outs.) I did that incase he changes it later it's still visible.
