Color Blindness and Cursors

[Strider1963]

Hey guys, how about some mouse cursor options for us color blind ppl... (1 in 10 men are color blind).. The default cursor is too darn small, and often blends in with firewalls, secnery, special effects (at least to color blind peopld)... difficult to click in the right place sometimes.. How about about 3x the size cursor.. maybe white with a black outline... or simply allow us to import one of the available Windows cursors...Sometimes people die because they have a color blind cleric..... To me, this is a serious issue that should be addressed!

While i can appreciate this can be an issue, there are things players can do to mitigate issues like not being able to heal on a cleric such as putting your healing spells on your main toolbar and/or setting up the heal spells on hotkeys. This means less dependency on the mouse and more keyboard action.

But, I do agree that more things can be done, and in fact update 8 includes something (I can't remember what) for colorblind support.

Thanks for your input, but I am also not the best typist in the world, so setting up hotkeys is not really a great idea for me... I already have my healing spells on a toolbar.. usually click on a group members name (which is located in upper left corner area of the screen, then have to move the cursor down to the toolar to click on the healing spell.. tried moving the toolbar up near the groups names, but that is also problematic... would be bad if the group names were movable so I could move them down near the toolbars (6 of them) on the bottom of the screen... everything else seems to be movable but the group names.. I can understand that if a person is a really good keyboarder, they could probably play the whole game with the keyboard... I just use the arrow keys for movement, the 0 key on the num pad for jumping, and the rest I do with the mouse...
