In Sierra's SCUMM interfaces user first selected an action from a action command list and then pointed some item for the selected action. As the next step the actiom command list was hidden behind right mouse button and selected action was shown as more or less descriptive mouse cursor.

  1. user pressed RMB -> mouse cursor changed to the next action
  2. user repeats 1. until mouse cursor shows the correct action

System Message: WARNING/2 (../ffdoc/fenfire/dartboard/rmb_action_switch--humppake/idea.rst, line 15)

Enumerated list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
  1. user points the item for action

Discussion

Can we create efficiently (and how platform independently) our own descriptive mouse cursors?

If we remain using only available default mouse cursors, what would be a extra cue good enough with them? I.e. showing name of the selected action in some corner?
