Different mouse pointers would be nice for example in OS's to change the size of windows and one for highlighting text etc..?
Possibly custom ones? :D

Sorry if this has already been mentioned I searched and nothing similar came up as far as I could see...

Thanks for your time :)

It would be epic if we could load a nfp image as a custom pointer or cursor

But then they could implement the "mouse hover" event or something. And iirc, they did not want to implement this. If you want a modified mouse, just change it on your own platform :P

Note: Everything that has been said is not confirmed, if this not is true, please correct me.

this would not be viable. who would control the cursor when many people are using the computer. This is why you cannot get the mouse position, only clicks and drags.

The only thing I could see working is may be your minecraft client load a courser from the mod folder when ever you hover over the terminal, but that would be pointless and has no effect on computercraft in any way.

Can somebody please explain what "iirc" means? I had never seen it before joining this forum, and people use it here all the time. :huh:

Pro Top: Search in google with
define:<term>
and if that doesn't come up with anything
urban:<term>
and that will search urban dictionary. doing either of these will get you your answer unless the term is no commonly used, and even then you can still get it sometimes.

Hmm good point but could it not be controlled independently somehow... I can dream anyway :P
