First off, if I got the wrong forum sorry mods.

Here's the problem, every time I login or startup my Logitech mouse tracking setting goes all the way up. I have to go to System Preferences, open Keyboard & Mouse, change the mouse tracking speed to something other than 4 and then put it back to 4. Is there a way to do this in Applescript and if so can someone write it for me?

Is Logitech aware of this "bug"?

I would hope so. I've told them and so have other people, it's also all over versiontracker.com. They don't even officially support 10.3.7

Yup - I have the same problem.

I just live with it and hadn't really looked into it. I assumed it was a problem with OSX actually, although it sounds like the blame lies at logitech's door!

Technically - wrong forum. (I'd suggest the developer forum)


Anyway: you'll want to use UI scripting - Apple used to have an example on the APplescript site that shows how to manipulate a prefpane - but I can't find it.

here's something similar to get you started-

Code:
tell application "System Preferences"
  activate
  set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
end tell

tell application "System Events"
  if UI elements enabled then
    tell tab group 1 of window �
     "Universal Access" of process "System Preferences"
      click button 4 �
       (* may be "Set Display to Grayscale" or "Set Display to Color" *)
    end tell
  else
    tell application "System Preferences"
      activate
      set current pane �
       to pane "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
      display dialog �
       "UI element scripting is not enabled. Check \"Enable access for assistive devices\""
    end tell
  end if
end tell

delay 2

tell application "System Preferences"
  quit
end tell

You will find the UI Element inspector useful:
