Mouse cursors for tools #497

Open fsih opened 6 years ago

fsih commented 6 years ago

Expected Behavior

Your tool should change your mouse cursor when you are hovered over the paint editor

Actual Behavior

No custom mouse cursors yet

fsih commented 6 years ago

Because of Edge, .cur files are the preferred format

Can this option be togglable? I find it harder to use the 2.0 editor with the custom cursors, because it is usually hard to tell where the cursor will actually click.

What if the cursors stayed mostly the same, but had a small indicator of what tool you're in, like image

Then you wouldn't have to struggle to figure out where you would end up clicking, but you would still be able to tell what mode you're in and have a better idea of what will happen when you use the mouse

I think it would also be helpful to have different cursor within a tool. For instance in the reshape tool, the cursor could change when you're about to move a point vs add a point vs move the whole shape. Photoshop and illustrator use cursors for this and it helps a lot.
