Default option to change mouse cursor form/colour in empty arrange area (better visibility)

please, please add an option to change the mouse cursor form or colour when the mouse hovers over an empty area of the arrange view! I'm getting mad constantly searching my mouse cursor somewhere on my 40" fullhd screen in projects that have only very few tracks and a lot of that empty area.



thanks in advance

+1 Most certainly. Losing your cursor is extremely frustrating.

in fact, Reaper is using the system's "beam_i.cur" cursor file while mouse cursor is hovering above the empty area of the arrange window. Thanks to forum member solger I found a fairly easy way to make the mouse cursor whatever your preferred shape might be and increase its visibility.



Please have a look at my post 6 in this thread:
