lighten cursor0

[Jared-Sprague]

Right now the cursor looks great when it's the directional triangles, but I think it's to heavy when on the sphere it covers up to much, especially when starting size:

I think it covers up to much of the skin. I think maybe we can make the center totally transparent that would fix the problem. Especially if we sell premium skins in the future people aren't going to like that the cursor blocks a good pertage of the skin out until you get bigger.

I think making the O smaller and lightening the center would be good, yeah.

@mwcz if you have a chance to try something with this before thursday that would be awesome! That's when I'm posting the remastered anoucment blog post, and I got the iogames.space thing sorted out so we'll be featured again this friday and saturday. It would be great if possible to have this in before then.

I'll see what I can do. I think there are much more important issues to tackle though.

Yeah there definitely are, but I doubt they can be done by Thursday. I figured this was an easy polish thing we could do before we have thousands of people playing for the first time this weekend, why not do it?

[mwcz]

Good points! I'll see what I can do. Should be really easy.

@Jared-Sprague Nice! You were right, it looks much better smaller. I shrank it, which made a big difference. I tried making it a lot more transparent but I didn't like the look (the dark center is very important at keeping the cursor visible when hovering over very bright player spheres). The size was much more effective at revealing the sphere skin. I wound up lightening the transparency just a tad and I'm really happy with it.

Here's what it looks like at starting size.

Yes I love it! Thanks!
