Bruh no way. How long has it been there? Don’t use KDE but I commented on here that it should be the DE’s default 4 months ago.

@@nixel1324 if they change side of quit, maximise and minimise the windows then... I really believe this company was founded just to control the society xD

I think it also makes it harder to pinpoint exactly where you'll click at. Visually, I think it looks better, though.

That plus, movement is easier to see. I think thats why they chose the tilted arrow. Diagonal: movement, like someone tilted before running Vertical: Stationnary, like a building Horizontal: Calm, like the horizon of an empty sea

@Gernot Schrader Vertical has the advantage to make it easier to aim in between text to select it.

Maybe it mimics the visual you get when you point your finger. When you point at something in front of you, your finger doesn't line up vertically, it stays at an angle in your perspective.

@@Project229 But for doing that, the application should have selected the I-beam cursor. If the arrow cursor is still there when selecting text - that's a bug.

My I beam pulses blue so I don't lose it. Very useful!

make sure how you want to make you

Yeah. Making it black was also quite clever, since every modern program and website interface has a white background by default. So the black cursor improved visibility on an otherwise white background. Same reason why Xerox made it white on an otherwise black background. Microsoft just copied Xerox without putting any thought into it :D

@@moritzh5795 now days most applications have black backgrounds, so it came full circle.

@@viniciusfornagieropereira9717 Yeah maybe back when dark mode wasn't as common I would consider a black cursor, but nowadays I would never.

No he was inspired by gta v

That would be remarkable! ;)

Also, an angled cursor hides less of the thing you're pointing at.

Very good point especially since position 0,0 will always be the same no matter what. It's not just about calculations, messing around in game engines it always made sense to make the "origin" of sprites the middle, but 0,0 was always more practical in real life.

a pixel corner would also be pointier than a pixel side.

Hard to believe, it would be a simple addition. It's probably simply more precise, easier to know where you click.

you genuinely scare me

Good

That's something only a supervillain could come up with!

You're a gangster!

Yep. I've been using a "chroma" cursor which I "upscaled" to be smoother, but also symmetrical. I'm never going back to a regular cursor again.

when i was on Windows i used a PlayStation-themed crosshair cursor i also have a playstation shirt lmao

I really like the Chrome OS cursors. They're my favourite, even surpassing the macOS cursors IMO, and I've dailied macOS since 2011.

Oxygen cursors are my absolute favorite, they are soft looking while still having the general shape of default and they have tons of colors too

i miss my obnoxious trailing tails that trail after the cursor moving

my parents always got mad at me but i always changed the cursor to a horse

That would make a lot of sense. Do you have a source for this or is it speculation?

@@ninevolt its the best answer we’ll get

Yeah that's certainly how I feel about it. It seems natural to want the tip to point to 0,0. Going deeper, it probably points to the top left corner because English reads from left to right, top to bottom, which is likely why screen co-ordinates are arranged as they are to begin with. You can speculate about why it's better to have a perfect vertical line on the left edge of the arrow head and diagonal on the right, rather than a perfect horizontal on the right edge and diagonal on the left. But it's probably something to do with English type again; vertical-oriented cursor feels better than horizontal.

@@AnthonyFlack So, if Arabic speakers had invented the GUI, would the mouse cursor be mirrored compared to what we use now?

@@Roxor128 - I think it's possible yeah! The computer revolution began in English-speaking countries and I think that has influenced standards in all kinds of ways.

On the bottom of the page you find an alternative beam and precise tool that perhaps you could use instead

@@PosyMusic 🖱️

Thought the same.

Yup, a surprise collaboration between a hourglass, a vintage barber sign and a rainbow 😅 Quite attractive anyway!

Yeah same! From top-left to bottom-right feels the most natural (like from the mouse and then away.) Has he changed it yet? don't think he will get back to it after such time... but tbh it only requires "rotating by 180 degrees" and then it will be fine 😝

I would also like to know if this has ever been made. Is it perhaps easy for someone to reverse the animation and or rotate it as you said and offer it somewhere else?

@@millanferende6723 For what you're describing, it would have to be mirrored vertically, not rotated. Equally simple, of course.

I swear I’ve seen one do that, probably an option you could activate in windows 7. That was so long ago however that I don’t remember

Sometimes the cursor shows up in places it shouldn't, like on top of a movie, and the only way to hide it is to put it on the right side. A cursor you couldn't do that with would be a problem.

@@doltBmB Oh, yeah, that is such an underrated feature!

Would be great if it had a sphere in the center where it would be a dot or circle pointer, and on the edge had a tail that always pointed center

Also makes it much easier to line things up. The same reason why Microsoft went with the white cursor and the black outline. You see it a bit in the video, but when you move over a white surface, the outline seems to disappear, which makes it very difficult to click (and especially select) pixel perfectly (of course you rarely need to do that, but it still reduces accuracy a bit).

That might have been the technical reason at some point, though I doubt scaling was of great concern in the pre-mobile age. Any way, at least starting at some later point, you can define the "tip" point of the cursor in Windows. Which is not at (0,0) for the move icon or the hand for example.

Ahh, the absolute Cambrian Explosion of KDE cursors. That takes me back.

Agreed, add Amiga workbench to the list! I also created my own cursor on that platform. I also liked the gold and silver shaded cursors in the windows plus package, I think it was included as standard in later windows versions.

I would presume that the GNOME/ X11 cursor is an evolution of a design from NeXT Step or BeOS due to both having been UNIX operating systems from around the same time that the GNOME Foundation started for GTK development but I don't know anything about the KDE cursor design though but it is certainly unique among system default cursor designs but judging from old screenshots, it looks like KDE 1.0 used a different design to the current one along with KDE (couldn't find screenshots with the mouse cursor for KDE 2.0 and 3.0 and KDE 4 uses the same cursor design in the Oxygen theme as the current cursor in the Breeze theme I think...)

@@wclifton968gameplaystutorials I doubt that since X11 dates from June 1984, while "The first full release, NeXTSTEP 1.0, shipped on September 18, 1989." BeOS is even more unlikely since it dates from October 1995.
