awful hand pointer in safari !

I don't want the hand pointer on my hypertext links. It's ugly. Programmation is bad, I have the pointer outside those links, and even outside safari when I'm lucky. I already had to turn off the shake-to-find thing because my pointer was mad, growing anytime.

I don't want this hand. It's ugly. It's not ergonomic, it's badly programmed, it's not working well. And above all, it's ugly. I want the same arrow all the time.

I opened "abridged" changes right under my nose.

It's supposed to do that. You changed the selection from Column view to List view. The options panel changes according to what settings are possible in each mode.

Did I mention by the way my harassers were a little bit single minded and obsessed with stripes?

Harassing? List view has had the visual line separators for a long time.


Just for the heck of it, stop acting Apple is out to personally get you.

If this awful pointer had been there for such a long time, why then is it so badly programmed?

How is it badly programmed? It does just what it's supposed to do, when it's supposed to do it.

It doesn't look like apple AT ALL.

You're right. It doesn't look like an apple. It, quite appropriately, looks like a pointing hand.

Can't they have moles or something?

A mole would be a rather silly choice. I think a hand conveys the message much more clearly. (Let's see if you understand that answer).
