After 25 years I still desperately miss the cursor editor program I bought -- yeah, it was a commercial app -- for the OS/2 WPS. It would let you make cursors and related stuff that was the opposite value of whatever they were over, so it would be white when over black, black when over white, and if on the edge maybe half black and half white. You could never lose your cursor. It's the single most useful computer utility I've ever owned and I miss it constantly. (I do not remember how it sorted its color opposites, but I remember that it was both effective and pleasant to use.) In a world in which you can get any of 100 different fart-noise simulators from the app store, you'd think there would be one person who would have developed a Linux equivalent to that little OS/2 utility, but if someone has I've been unable to find it. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
