I know it's a browser tradition, but it always reminds me of one Mickey Mouse's hands...so I'd like to exchange it for something else. Does it live anywhere easy to reach?

Oddly enough, I just went looking for this yesterday. No, it doesn't live somewhere easy to reach. At least, I couldn't find it inside of the Safari package.

I would think that would come with the OS, not Safari (or any browser)...

Cool, thanks!

I only looked inside of the Safari bundle - duh, I should have known it would be in WebKit.

Here ye go, an unmickeymouseified hand cursor thingy.

I was too lazy to make my own, so simply edited the existing one a little bit. Piss easy, but I like it.

Unfortunately, my ability to coherently discourse in the Queen's English has precipitously vanished, leaving me unable to render a suitable response to your query.

Does anyone have a picture of the standard cursor, to use as a base for a new link cursor? Or is it to be found somewhere in the OS files already?

What kind of cursor are you going to 'make' anyway?
