mouse_drag should have special cursor when button is held.
« on: June 03, 2010, 03:05:44 am »
When a container has mouse_drag set as it's mouse_mode, it should display an appropriate cursor when the mouse button is held down over non-active elements.

Something like this:


Or a clasped hand like this:


If mouse_drag is enabled, it might also be desirable to show the open hand while over non-active elements, and the closed hand when the mouse button is held down:


This cursor should also show up if a user clicks on an active element and begins dragging (since megazine now correctly interprets this as dragging the container contents and not interacting with the active element).

Several of my users have been confused about being able to mouse_drag my book around, and this cursor would be an immediate and intuitive clue about how it works.
