…and they assume that the pointing device is a mouse.

inspiration: I’m using a trackball with my left hand because of a broken button. The pointer shape doesn’t make sense since i’m not clicking with my right index finger.

    Yeah, there was like, a 15 year period. Where nobody ran standard cursor on their desktops. People would have these crazy animated things that would just drive you crazy.

      The mouse cursor should be almost invisible, not draw attention to itself.

      Linux solved a problem I didn’t really know I was having. getting old, lose the cursor because old. Wiggle the mouse around and the cursor grows like the grinches heart long enough for me to see it, then it goes back to normal.

      ms… they put a white circle which you can’t see if you press some weird ass keyboard combo that may or may not also open edge and attempt to create a ms account (I dunno if this is true, they just suck)

      I need the mouse cursor to be better at drawing attention to itself at times though. When you have a couple big monitors often finding where that cursor is hiding becomes a problem.

        fortunately, on macOS, all you have to do is wiggle the mouse a bit, and it’ll get really big for a moment so you can find it, lol… it’s super-helpful!

        I do increase the size of the cursor permanently, and colour them brightly. It works wonders, a bright pink or cyan or orange cursor always makes me smile a bit when I stop to appreciate it.
