Hi all, I set a feat request awhile ago: Bug 104169
Basically the idea is to change the 'arrow' mouse icon into a 'cross' when hovering over calc spreadsheet. Preliminar investigation reveals that this behaviour can be well approximated if line 53 of file fudraw.cxx is changed from " aNewPointer ( PointerStyle::Arrow )," change into " aNewPointer ( PointerStyle::Cross )," However, the resulting cross looks a litle bit too thin. kohei realized that this has to do with the fact that in LO we don't have a 'FatCross' PointerStyle. As kohei best explains: "http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gdkcursor.html looking at this, there is supposed to be cross and crosshair. and the crosshair is the skinny one, but we map that to our Cross type. I think that's an error. and I don't see us mapping gtk's real 'cross' type. and I bet that's the fat one." What do you guys think be done? Should the PointerStyle be expanded to include something like PointerStyle::FatCross? Or, alternatively, should the naming of PointerStyle crosses be consistent with that of gtk2+ crosses? Another issue is the fact that GTK3+ does not seem to offer the fat cross anymore, only the crosshair.... https://developer.gnome.org/ gdk3/stable/gdk3-Cursors.html. If this is true maybe we could use the crosshair when hovering over the grid of the spreadsheet? Send a request to GTK team to include a fat cross on their icon set? In the case of GNUmeric, I think they still use GTK2+. That is why they use the fat cross for this purpose. Thanks, Nuno
