* Tweaked the thumbsize of the pointing hand cursors.
* Repurposed the FollowLink cursor as CreateLink cursor.
* Created a new FollowLink cursor based on a design by Justin Stressman, thanks!

It compiles and I proof-read the commit, otherwise I didn't test, yet.

# e59dc33e 07-Mar-2010 Stephan Aßmus <superstippi@gmx.de>

* Added BCursorID enumeration in App Kit's Cursor.h and new constructor which
takes such an id.
* Reused the existing mechanism to to have hardcoded tokens for the system
cursors, i.e. removed cursor_which enumeration from ServerProtocol.h and
used BCursorID where cursor_which was previously used.
* Reworked CursorManager.h and CursorSet.h accordingly and removed some methods
that where intended to replace system cursors with client cursors, since
those would break the reference counting and forget to maintain the cursor
list.
* Replaced the cursors in CursorData.h/cpp with the new ones I just designed.
* Removed HaikuSystemCursor.h and HaikuLogo.h from the source, as those are/were
no longer used.

I hope I will not get too much beating for this one... :-) I know the new
default cursor is slightly larger, but I believe the old one was just too small.
Also I noticed that the cursor may be slightly too dark, at least the old one
seems noticeably brighter when compared side by side (the new one has a slight
gradient). That is something I may correct at least. Otherwise I hope nothing
is broken, I've tested in QEMU and so far everything works as intended.

# 19e179ca 19-Jun-2009 Stephan Aßmus <superstippi@gmx.de>

* Moved the implementation of SetViewCursor from the thread of the
window of the view into the application thread. This solves the
race condition with asynchronous SetViewCursor and deleting the
cursor immediately afterwards for real.
* The ServerApp now requires a reference to the current cursor,
just in case...
* Added TODOs for caching the BView token, it's currently resolved
for every single BView call that talks to the server... not good!

Make it possible to properly use operator= on BCursors by making sure the
reference counting is maintained correctly in the app_server. While reviewing
this code, I have my doubts that my previous solution for handling pending
SetViewCursor() calls is always working as it is intended.

# 588259b6 26-Feb-2006 Stephan Aßmus <superstippi@gmx.de>

various changes to handling custom cursors:
* all cursors owned by a team are visually different,
or (iaw) an already existing cursor is reused when
it is set by the client again
* changed various occurances of cursor data from "int8*"
to "uint8*"
* ServerCursors also remember the R5 data from which
they were created
* the reference counting and destruction of
ServerCursors changed: The cursor knows it is attached
to a CursorManager and one can simply use
ServerCursor::Acquire() and Release() and the reference
counting and everything is being taken care of
* destroying a ViewLayer will now correctly release a set
ServerCursor
* fixed a race condition when setting a cursor through
BView::SetViewCursor(): If the client code looks like this:

BCursor cursor(cursorData);
someView->SetViewCursor(&cursor, false);

there is a relatively high chance the BCursor destructor
told the ServerApp thread to destroy the cursor before
the ServerWindow thread got to "acquire" the cursor for
use by the view layer. The very same problem is likely the
reason that SetViewCursor works to unreliably on R5, even
when the "sync" flag is set to "true" (although it should
theoretically work in that case).

all these fixes make WonderBrush work fine again with the
new support of custom cursors.... coded by axeld and myself
(the joys of pair programming :-)

# aa1f5437 05-Feb-2006 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Some work on cursors:
* Fixed a myriad of bugs all over the place, ranging from locking errors to
deleting objects that don't belong to the one deleting them (hello HWInterface!)
* Almost all ServerWindow cursor stuff was broken; I've replaced all commands
to set a cursor with a single one AS_SET_CURSOR.
* Renamed some cursor commands.
* Changed the (broken) way ServerApp::fAppCursor was maintained - the application
cursor is now NULL as long as possible.
* Removed superfluous ServerCursor app signature stuff.
* The BApplication will no longer duplicate the default/I-beam cursors, it will
just reuse the default ones which now have fixed tokens.
* As a result, changing the cursor is now working as expected, closing bug #102.
* Rewrote Cursor.h, renamed private members to match our style guide.
* Minor cleanup.

What's still left to be done is reference counting the cursor objects to make them
work right and reliable.
