List comrades,
Is there a good usability reason that GtkMenu replaces the standard mouse
pointer with a slightly larger, mirrored cursor?
I realize that GTK has historical roots as a free replacement of Motif and
this is the way that Motif treated the cursor when the user selected a menu
and moved the mouse over it. Is there a strong usability reason for
retaining this feature? No other modern windowing toolkit changes the mouse
cursor during a menu operation. This includes Windows, MacOS, OSX and BeOS.
There are real usability reason for not changing the shape of the mouse
cursor during a menu selection operation.
Could this feature be re-examined for GTK 2.0?
Thanks!
