It may seem trivial, but we all spend a long time looking at it, it it needs to be functional and obvious where the "point" of the pointer is.

I use the standard OS2+ raised red pointer, and my busy pointer is a custom "Zzz" design, which pays homage to the OS1.x default while being updated to 2.x design (it fits in quite well, it should be the default IMHO :-))

So.. what does your mouse pointer look like?

A pointer.

With a shadow. :-)

I use the standard Amiga mouse pointer on all my Amigas, and on Windows, too. (i found an "Amiga" pointer set for windows somewhere).

I use the standard pointers both in OS3.1 and Windows XP...

A joint that smokes when busy. Did it a few years back to make my mates chuckle, but i cant be bothered to change it back and it looks alright so...

Oh, the point is in the cherry.

On the Amiga I use the high-res version of the bog-standard pointer (on a screen 640*256 :-o ).

On the PC I'm using a Mac theme (but keep changing the backdrop ;-)) so my pointer is black with the watch instead of the sand-timer :-D

Speaking of pointers, one of my pet peeves lately has been that I've got a beautiful 800X600 Picasso II/CGX v4.2 workbench, with a nasty looking pointer. Is there any way to get a nice sharp pointer that will do the rest of the system justice? I've tried the built in "hi-res" pointer, but it still looks pretty bad.

Sorry to hijack, but this seems to fit the discussion!

Thx,

I've had so many pointers that I'm sick of all the fancy stuff you can do with them. So I use a plain jane standard white pointer with black border. In hommage to "sleepy" the 1.x busy pointer, that is my default wait pointer.

"Sleepy" rules!

:pint:
