Certainly easily implemented: it's no more than a single function call to set
it to a different image.

As for making it look good - or even so that it gives some more usability to
V - then that's HIGHLY doubtful.

Your standard pointer colours are transparent, black, beige and red. We
could design pointers to use this colour scheme, but users could change
these colours for a custom pointer and our pointers would be made
practically useless.

Forcing people to use a more sane palette (black, grey and white perhaps)
would probably be unacceptable.

Setting the palette ourselves.. I don't think that's possible.

Add to that the fact that it's apparently quite difficult to work out whether
Hi-res pointers are being used: certainly AWeb doesn't go so far as to find
out, and the "hover hand" is in lo-res. It also looks sunburnt and almost
slightly radioactive (to prove the earlier point)

Pointers really aren't AmigaOS' strong point.

Thanks
