Kevin, I hadn't really thought about duration; the short answer is that it depends on demand for it. Alternate caret locators isn't something I can get into at this point. This one is easy to draw; arrows wouldn't be. By the way, you can get the caret locator to draw itself anytime you like just by pushing and releasing shift. I use this myself when I'm too slow to spot it the first time. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 2:17 PM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: Cursor locator thingy If you're going to offer the ability to toggle it on and off, would it be possible to allow users to customize the duration of the thingy? I find myself unable to find the cursor sometimes because it flashed too fast. Maybe I'm just too slow, but it would be nice to allow a longer flash, or for those who want it but don't want to disable it, maybe a shorter/faster flash. On a semi-serious note, what about offering alternate "thingies" like Windows offers alternate mouse cursors. I was thinking a bunch of big arrows pointing to the location from different angles/sides would be great! I would personally have no trouble finding the cursor then (could one argue that it's an accessibility feature then for slow people like myself?).

I'll sit back and see what kind of beating I take for that; we could add a way to do so, of course. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Melissa Hirshson Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 12:54 PM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Cursor locator thingy Apologies if this has been asked before...is there a way to deactivate that cursor locator thingy, the moving circle that pops up whenever you switch views? I'm not sure what you call it, and it's hard on the eyes when I'm quickly switching between views all the time. Thanks.
