Nitpick: Why is the "Destroy" curser a pickaxe?

Post by CSPAN »

It should probably be a sledgehammer or like, a wrecking ball.

In legacy it was like a chisel or something and in Salem it was a cross, so I'd say that the pickaxe is the closest we've come so far to a suitable icon
Haven 3.0 will likely have a sledgehammer

They could be small if I zoom out. It just feels much better to click with a point rather than with an image.

They made a wrecking ball cursor for the battering ram and someone on the wiki called it "weird". From that day they decided nobody could have nice things ever again.

The main annoyance with weird cursors is figuring out where they actually click so you can hit the tiny window close buttons instead of accidentally clicking to move somewhere and canceling whatever you're doing.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's not a bad suggestion, but I feel strongly like not implementing it out of spite and bottomless malice. Will have to meditate on it.
