SUMMARY Currently, when the user enters the Present Windows effect, the mouse will change from the arrow pointer to a hand pointer. I propose that we keep the pointer as an arrow and minimize the hand transformation to thinks like web links. It will make the experience more unified for the user. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Git commit c9a719e109fc7b941baa582f95960c87d581e2de by Nate Graham. Committed on 18/06/2021 at 12:58. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [effects] Use standard arrow cursor in Present Windows & Desktop Grid The pointing finger cursor is used to show that a piece of text is a clickable link, and it is inappropriate to use it in other contexts. Regular UI elements that do something when single-clicked continue to use the standard arrow cursor in other contexts, so let's follow that convention in the Present Windows and Desktop Grid effects too.
