Did the mouse pointer change?

First time logging in for a couple weeks and unless I’m hallucinating, my mouse point is different. I’ve been looking at this thing for the last 20 years, I’m confident its different.

Why would they have changed it? Is there anyway to change it back? I don’t know why this new one bothers me so much but I really dislike it.

can you not get an addon or a weakauras to change the mouse icon? just a suggestion

Yeah they changed it out of the blue, i hate changes that happen just for the sake of change but what can you do? :woman_shrugging:

You can adjust its size now, it’s nice.

Nope. All we can do is add a trail to it or a circle around it.

Only some of the pointers are changed. Others still use the smaller versions, so when you scale the main ones up, the old ones get pixelated since those haven’t been updated.

Yeah, doesnt bother me in the slightest with it larger now that some arent pretty

what do you mean?

i kinda like it tbh

funny how they do that more then fixing bugs that have been in the game for X-teen years, lol

Go into settings and adjust your cursor size, it’s glorious

Yeah, i don’t understand why so many companies spend time on stuff like that, so many of my browser extensions exist for the sole purpose of undoing changes i don’t like, whether it be me using oldreddit because i hate the newer “mobile friendly” version, or extensions to keep YouTube looking the way i like it, they seem to be constantly messing with things that don’t need to be messed with just for the sake of looking like they’re keeping things fresh lol

it seems to be a mix of “boss is coming over, quick, look busy!!” and “do the easiest things first, even if there not needed” mindset the devs have had for years

to everyone the devs just look lazy, no matter what there doing. if they wernt they aim for some of the bigger hitting bugs and aim to do stuff we actually want… not something stupid and time wasting like changing the mouse icon

You’ve been able to do that for years.

haha

You were able to change the size of the old cursor.

I noticed the hand changed. It didn’t bother me but it did look different.

It looks slightly less chubby or something.

why would they change a mouse icon though? it’s not important
