- reddalo 3y agoAnd if I'm not wrong, it still applies to today's Mac interface. The cursor still has a white outline all around.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoYup. You can even customise both the inner and outer colours as an accessibility feature!
- pmarreck 3y agoWhat??? TIL. A lot of the accessibility features are actually neat even to those without the need for them.
- eropple 3y agoYeah, it’s become super useful for me to color code the cursors between my work and personal Macs.
- bombcar 3y agoSeriously. Anyone over the age of about 18 should spend a bit of time going through them, there are many useful things (zoom part of screen is a powerful help on macOS for example).
- Stratoscope 3y agoBingo! Now that you jogged my memory, I can confirm this. The next question is why you need a white outline around the black arrow. This is easy to answer: if you didn't do that, what would the black arrow look like against a black background?
- justsomehnguy 3y agoSome DE solved that by having an inverse outline.
- bmicraft 3y agoI'm pretty sure even on windows there is the option of having the whole cursor be the inverse of the background
- whywhywhywhy 3y agoThe format has a special color for it, you can mix inverse pixels anywhere in a classic windows cursor IIRC
- jsjohnst 3y agoTook me a really long pause to think up what DE meant, so to save others from similar waste “desktop environment”
