- Create a variety of mouse cursor textures. Currently FO has no mouseover feedback in the form of cursor changes for things like whether something is selectable or clickable or what result would happen if something was clicked. Standard UIs often have special cursors to indicate things like that the cursor is over the part of a window border that can be used to resize the window. Similarly, if we had a cursor to indicate that clicking would order a fleet to move to a system, we could change the UI so that right clicking always cancels and left clicking on a system while a fleet is selected orders the fleet to move, rather than the current right-click to order a move while right-clicking most other times cancels whatever popup window is open, which can be a bit confusing.
