I'm running with E17 release so things might have changed in SVN since then. For mouse pointers I have a hard time getting used to the hot spot located at the "white" end of the pointer (thus ~2 pixels "inside" the pointer) instead of being at the first black pixel. The black border around the hot spot makes it harder to point at the expected pixel. Current cursor Expected cursor hotspot: hotspot: ↓ ↓ ▓ →▓ █▓ █▓ █▓▓ █▓▓ →█░▓▓ █░▓▓ █░░▓▓ █░░▓▓ █░░░▓▓ █░░░▓▓ █░░░░▓▓ █░░░░▓▓ The window resizing cursor with the blue box has one big disadvantage which shows when only a small part of the cursor is visible (as in resizing a window from bottom when the bottom of the window is just a few pixels from bottom of screen. (same applies to right end of screen). For the clock gadget, in Digital mode, horizontal layout, the gadget only expands its width against time width instead of against longest of time or date. In IBar, the label of icons is clipped to shelf which is especially bad for vertical layout as nearly no label fits in the small space. Instead of being drawn inside the gadget/shelf it should rather show as a tool-tip. (not sure if this is only a theme thing or more of a gadget change) Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
