because it was possible to make a pointer arrow that was the reverse of
whatever it was over -- black on white, white on black, blue on red, etc.,
to the point of even being half one color and half the other when it
rested on an edge. this made it manifestly visible, always. linux has
nothing to match it and i intend to undertake a course of study that will
result in its being replicated for linux.
My old Amiga system had that capability
too, but for some reason the Linux
desktops seem to have overlooked that particular customization. Being
strongly left-handed, I changed my cursor to point to the right instead of
the left, but on Linux I'm unable to do that. :-(
