POLL: In SCREEN 0, would you prefer a square/box mouse cursor or a pointy arrow cursor?

by (no login)

As Pete said, there are actually several possibilities when you account for full screen. I'll present 3 options (A,B or C), please vote for the option you want most.

OPTION A: For SCREEN 0, a pointy mouse cursor in windowed mode, but box cursor (aligned to the nearest character cell) in full screen mode.

OPTION B: For SCREEN 0, always a box cursor (aligned to the nearest character cell).

OPTION C: For SCREEN 0, always a pointy cursor.

Be aware that options involving box cursors will incur a minor performance hit whenever mouse moves because the display surface must be updated to emulate this feature. A non-aligned box cursor would not incur this performance hit. Please also comment on how important alignment to the nearest character cell would be for you.
