Can anyone tell me a way to get my arrow back?? I sympathise with you. Even with good eyesight, the mouse pointers disappear all too easily, and the special effect to reveal the position of the cursor when the control key is tapped isn't obvious enough, nor does it solve the problem of the pointer being too small all of the time, for some circumstances. I think it's about time that the mouse preferences gave some adjustable scaling control over the pointer size, so we don't have to mess around with themes to change the size of the pointer. While on the theme, I wish programs that deal with precise alignment of things, but using the mouse, should have a function that extends crosshairs from the mouse focus point along to the rulers that the programs have along the edge of the window. But it's not just the rulers that are points of interest to users, sometimes you're aligning one object against others on the page. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.4-102.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 24 13:09:09 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
