Hi Carsten! I appreciate that you always take the time to respond to users
He's the best!
E has its own cursors that uses the efl/e theme. if you use
something else then "you're mileage may vary". efl's cursors will
scale based on scale factor. there is no good reason to set cursor
size as pointers will follow the same scale factor as everything
else.
This is an unrecognised problem in all interfaces. Pointer size is
probably the only item that needs to be scalable *independently* of the
system scale factor, because not all screens offer the same degree of
clarity for moving objects (cursors) to remain visible.
That is, text, menus, icons, sliders, widgets, etc *usually* stay where
they are for long periods, but the mouse pointer is constantly moving.
This is why most systems can be set to blink the cursor when (eg) Ctrl
is pressed, because the cursor can become "lost" among the other
components of the screen.
Particularly as you grow older, your visual reactivity declines, so it
become harder to spot the cursor, whereas you can still easily see the
more static objects without difficulty. Making *everything* scale just
to get a big cursor is not a good solution: the cursor needs to be
scalable independently of everything else.
