@RL_Dane I love these little touches -- they're really not that little to me, they usually say something big about the developer's creativity and insight, IMO.
Right, it's a very different model to what I'm used to (going back 39 years), but I don't dislike it!
@RL_Dane I'm not even sure that I like this particular mouse pointer concept, but I strive to think this way in my abstract designs.
