Not a bad thing at all... Both of these type requests come mainly from the large base of people finding out about Linux and asking comfort zone (read: defend their MicroCracked addiction) questions about eye candy, the main use of a PC for many. It reminds me of when PC's started to show up in offices 20+ years ago and the main question was how to make it act like a typewriter. That being said it would be nice to easily change the size or contrast or animation (read: blinking) of the basic cursor for visibility reasons, my eyesight not being what it used to be... Now for me an animated penguin is simply thinking about just plain fun... RBW -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
