[CSS 3] missing cursor support for 'none'

• Component: CSS
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

The only cursor selector we lack is the 'none' cursor, which in effect should be invisible (done here with PNG transparency).

Looks fine for Mac, but I'd like to see a patch that keeps the other platforms compiling too.

Marking review- just because of the "no changes for the other platforms" issue. Please submit a patch that at least tries to keep all the platforms working.

patch v2 - with more platforms

Point taken. This should at least provide some default results.

Qt has BlankCursor; I'm going to tweak the patch to use it instead of pointer when landing.

That sounds nice :-)

And yes, I should be more mindful about making sure they all compile.

Committed revision 18270.

I also had to fix cssparser.cpp: when changing CSS value IDs, one needs to make sure that the calculations are still correct. This patch broke border/outline properties entirely, and an earlier cursor patch broke -webkit-background-composite: copy.

What do you think about adding support for Mozilla cursors (bug 8988)? I'm not sure what our policy on Mozilla CSS extensions is (currently, we don't support any -moz- properties), but those cursors look pretty useful.

Well, unless there's a general attitude against them, I don't see why we shouldn't include them. It'd be a pleasure. As far as I can see, it's the grab/grabbing and zoom in/out cursors we need to add.

However, I spotted that some of the existing cursor images have bad transparency and other issues. Also, we could really do with a more modern, OSX-ish set of cursors generally. 16x16 B/W and no drop shadows? We can do better, and I think that's priority #1 :-)
