This mod replaces the 'hand and finger' cursor with traditional cursors:

- White for most things
- Red for unit move destinations

This doesn't seem to work when placed in the Graphic Override folder, so I placed mine in the main game install graphics/cursors folder.

When viewing the folders, the cursor images might not appear to have changed, but once you restart the game, you should have your new cursors.

Nice one. I retrieved the TOAWIII cursors from the ObsoleteCursors folder. That little finger in TOAWIV is too small

The obsolete ones look... well... obsolete, so I decided not to use them.

What's really strange is that when I accidentally deleted the files and re-started the game with no cursors in any of the folders, there were still OPART-style cursors in the game... That's after a full restart.

Made a slight change; in the game 'graphic/Cursors' folder, took a copy of the arrow file 'northeas.cur', renamed it as 'cursor1.cur' (overwriting the original), so now I get the mod white cursor image to search the map, but whenever the cursor touches something where an action is possible, like a stack to shuffle, a button that can be used, the cursor changes to the larger red arrow, as a prompt that an action is possible.

If there is nothing to be done, then the cursor stays standard white and this works in all game screens.
