This will all not help when using a big cursor. e-resize or w-resize (image at bottom) may help but fits also not really good.

If we want to be sure that the user's icon theme doesn't interfere, we have to use our own image. But something simple like the attached image should do... This is now 16x16, but maybe it should be only 12x12.

The problems seems to me that you don't know how large everyone's cursor is. So we can't say something like
positionOfTextboxY = cursorposition_y + cursorHeight + 10 px ?


Gerade arbeite ich eher sporadisch an einer Idee für einen neuen Satz Stämme: die Allianz in unterschiedlichen Varianten.

AFAIK it is not possible to retrieve the size of the cursor. So no, this is not possible…
