Mouse pointer changes when hovering over certain UI elements

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. The mouse cursor changes when hovering over the playback controls.
2.
3.

What should have happened?
The mouse cursor should not change.

What happened instead?
The mouse cursor changes.

Can you give us any additional information that could be useful in fixing
this bug?
This was very well spotted. I have not noticed this behaviour before, but the 
observation is correct. If you hover over the back and forward controls in 
Explorer, there is visual feedback in the form of a rollover glow. The mouse 
pointer, however, remains the same.

To fix this completely, I suggest the following:

1. Keep the mouse pointer as a normal pointer when hovering over the playback 
controls. Keep the rollover glow for the playback controls.
2. Introduce a glow rollover state for the volume slider.
3. Keep the mouse pointer as a normal pointer when hovering over the repeat and 
shuffle controls. 
4. Introduce a glow rollover state for the repeat and shuffle controls.

What release of Stoffi are you using (Xia or Shang)?
Zhou

If you are using alpha or beta, please state which:
Beta Three

A few more pointers:

1. Please consider adding a glow state to the seekbar area: This area is also 
interactive in the sense that the seekbar can be interacted with.
2. Please add a glow state to the search area, the same shade of colour that 
Explorer has in it's search area. It is #EDF6FE by default, but on mouse over, 
it becomes #F8FCFF.

I'll remove the cursor changes.

The hover effect on the search box will have to wait until Qin as I'll have to 
move all that XAML code into it's own template in order to have the textbox 
change the underlying box's background on mouse over triggers.

The glow on shuffle and repeat will have to wait until Qin as well. I need to 
install Adobe Illustrator in order to access my old AI files in which I have 
the orbs I created so I can add the glow to these buttons as well.

I will not introduce glow on the volume slider. As it is rightnow, this is a 
completely standard control and it'll be too messy to add glow as it requires 
me to recreate the whole slider by myself. I'll add hover effects when I 
restyle the volume slider later instead.

Adding glow effect is not a very high priority right now.
