What does your mouse pointer look like?

My A1200 pointer looks like the default WB3.0 one, only in blue instead of red  :-)

Oddly enough, my mouse pointer looks like, well a pointer really. This is one of those things I never really was bothered to fart about with too much :-)

ummmm...

I give up, what does my mouse pointer look like??

i'm vaguely colour blink and can't really tell the difference between black and red, so unable to play snooker, and stopping at non funtional traffic lights (can't really see the red in the sunlight as i can't see the "glow").

anyway

i have the Mouse pointer from OS3.5 (no really) it looks like a mouse! i had to reverse the colours to look right on my cyberGFX system (white body, black outline) and put a drop shadow underneath with a patterned shape same as the mouse  just below it.
(one pixel the tranparent colour, one pixel black one pixel the transparent colour.... etc.

looks quite nifty. i can't really remember what my busy pointer looked like as i didn't see it that oftern

You can't see the difference between black and red? I'm colourblind and I have no such trouble, it's quite unusual. Apparently it can occur with Protanopia, but usually only when the red is particularly dark. Protanopia is red-green colourblindness but with the light deficiency you describe. I have Deuteranopia, which is just red-green colourblindness.

*Cough* er... was that off-topic? ;-)

yeah its basicly inable to tell the difference between writing in red ink and black ink.... plus when my email comes in and its in red for urgent, i have an excuse to ignore it

*AHEM* *cough topic*

that_punk_guy: IMHO it's not entirely off topic cause there are a lot colorblind people (I have 1 cousin who also has red-green) and people making websites and user interfaces should be made more aware of this problem.

Actually.. It'd be good satring point to a new thread.
