Hm, but you still have the benefit that you know exactly where the centre of a crosshair is. Unlike with the Windows-specific hand, where the the centre was not actually in the area that the shape of the hand was suggesting was grabbing, i.e. the free space between the thumb and the pointing finger, but somewhere in the opaque part of the hand. (Which makes me think – is the hand actually unfixable? If we rectified the position of its centre point, and replaced the image... The problem would be mostly that we'd have to do at least four cursor styles: Windows, OS X, DMZ & Whiteglass for Linux. And we would have to switch this every so often as OS's switch to new cursor themes.) > So, I guess what I want to say is if/when someone decides to fix this > problem on Windows, they could as well do it on Linux at the same time. Indeed. And on Mac, too (I don't know the exact situation there, but I assume it is the same as on Linux). (PS: Rimas, sorry for claiming your idea with the crosshair pointer as mine in the previous post… not sure how I got to believe that.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
