Using a widget for 'the cursor'
I would love to be able to assign a widget as 'the cursor'. Feasible?

Re: Using a widget for 'the cursor'
That depends on what you'd expect such a thing to do
As far as I'm aware no platform allows an arbitrary window or similar object to be used as a cursor - usually your just allowed images. If you want a cursor which only appears within a LiveCode window, then that is potentially feasiable but I'm not sure making it work outside of the context would be possible.

Re: Using a widget for 'the cursor'
What I'm looking for is an easy way to define a hi-res mouse cursor without having to export multiple images. A widget displaying a path could be resized and the raster image could be used. This, of course, can all be done by the developer manually. It was just a thought.
Of course, we still have the problem of cursors not supporting a hi-res version as reported in #11984. It would be great to get that resolved.
