Contemplating the possibility of taking a picture of my cursor on this post's up vote button.
What?
You don't like Mickey Mouse?
New hand icons are not as nice as old ones.
And so it begins...
The angle really does drive me crazy.For those who want retina versions of the Mickey Hand cursor icons which are a bit more true to the originals, I've created some instructions on installing a Mickey Hand Retina that I illustrated a while back, originally for printing our user manuals at high res....but lookin' quite nice as a replacement for the 10.7.3 versions. Personally, I find the angle of the finger the most jarring.

Last laptop purchase was my PowerBook G4 in 2005. It's over 6 years old, but I'm still holding out for a retina MBP!

Well this just killed my plan on getting a 27inch cinema display.
That's not higher DPI, just more anti-aliasing. :-(
I highly doubt you will see a "retina" cinema display any time soon.

Now all they need to do is make the rest of OSX's interface resolution independent, which is going to take a lot more work than a mere cursor.
Q2 2012 ? Not a chance if were going one cursor at a time to hi-dpi
I don't want a retina display if I have to sit with a magnifying glass to view the contents on the screen. Apple doesn't even have an option to adjust DPI settings on their OS. Right now my 15" High-Res MBP is enough POE (Pain on eyes).
Even the Beach Ball cursor is hi-res. This is pretty neat!
I wish instead of improving the looks of it they'd work on getting rid of it.
That's on YOU!
People running 1000 threads of garbage in the background causes it... get an SSD and it's GONE! No really... GONE!
Does anyone know where those icons live (on the disk)? I'd love to use them in a screencast.![]()
