The problem, though, isn't making cursors -- you can do that easily in any distribution or modify existing ones. The problem is creating reverse transparency, such that, say, you're pointing in a document to black text on a white background, and with such a pointer it would be white text on a black background. Thus, the pointer would be very visible without blocking anything. I can make one that's transparent, but that would be invisible. So it needs to be inverted. The article doesn't get into that. I'm not even sure it can be done under X. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/
