On this age of Hi DPI I can't live with a tiny cursor that I cannot spot.

And we should basically be able to have massive cursors with animations etc.

 

To be serious: Yes - changing the cursor in Linux never worked (for me). And the windows
               VM had large cursor introduced as "experimental" in 2009:

               http://forum.world.st/squeak-dev-New-Window-VM-Closures-FT2Plugin-Large-Cursors-td81092.html

Agree that more parts should be moved to image, especially window and key event related things. But this
is on the list since years - so the basic question is more if Estebans has the time to work on it.

Event logic should be in the image indeed. The current system is a tad convoluted and one needs a couple of mental hops for understanding what comes from where.

Also, this will maybe allow for cleaner stopping of runaway loops.  

Best,

Phil
