[Framers] Windows 10 cursors and Adobe products

[Reng Winfried]

Hi Robert,

Yes. This was correct for old versions.
However, with FM 2019 (as far as I recall) FM was updated,
so that it observes settings like scaling for your monitor, etc.
And obviously also the mouse pointer.

Best regards

Winfried

FrameMaker isn't a normal Windows application. Since FM9 it has used a proprietary UI layer instead.
