You know, it would solve the whole problem if they'd let us edit the "zzz" image the way you can the pointer. Then you could have an identical pointer if you no like "zzz", or you could have the thing produce a rude message (my preferance, actually), whatever you wanted. But, noooo…. zzz you see, zzz you get. Mmmmph. –Ben–

Hmmm…. many programs have a different pointer shape for a busy indication, so it isn't impossible. All we need to do it figure out how to edit the darned thing and link the new one in.

Oh, I know it's *possible* — I just think it ought to be in the preferences, like the primary pointer image. That shoud be enough for them to do. –Ben–

Come on! We have the greatest software artists right on this forum! Someone should be able to come up with a small shareware able to do the ZZZ change. Any takers?

Well…. it's the preferances program that needs the change… and without the source, it's a complete re-write. On the other hand… hmmm….
