Provide more standard cursors (etc. cross hair, grab, ...)

[rossi]

It would be nice, if the Application Kit would provide more standard cursors, in order to prevent every app developer to come up with its own variation of cursors (e.g. cross-hair, grab, ...).

This would help to keep consistency and easy of use, as users don't have to learn new cursors for every application.

The cursors defined in the various Haiku applications like Icon-O-Matic could be used as a starting point. of course not all make sense as "standard", but I trust you to know which ones should be common among applications.

I support this ticket and will take ownership. I'll need more cursors to properly port WebKit. Maybe not all the cursors needed by WebKit should be standard, but a lot could be. Here is a list from WebKit's Cursor.h (​http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/platform/Cursor.h):

const Cursor& pointerCursor();
const Cursor& crossCursor();
const Cursor& handCursor();
const Cursor& moveCursor();
const Cursor& iBeamCursor();
const Cursor& waitCursor();
const Cursor& helpCursor();
const Cursor& eastResizeCursor();
const Cursor& northResizeCursor();
const Cursor& northEastResizeCursor();
const Cursor& northWestResizeCursor();
const Cursor& southResizeCursor();
const Cursor& southEastResizeCursor();
const Cursor& southWestResizeCursor();
const Cursor& westResizeCursor();
const Cursor& northSouthResizeCursor();
const Cursor& eastWestResizeCursor();
const Cursor& northEastSouthWestResizeCursor();
const Cursor& northWestSouthEastResizeCursor();
const Cursor& columnResizeCursor();
const Cursor& rowResizeCursor();
const Cursor& middlePanningCursor();
const Cursor& eastPanningCursor();
const Cursor& northPanningCursor();
const Cursor& northEastPanningCursor();
const Cursor& northWestPanningCursor();
const Cursor& southPanningCursor();
const Cursor& southEastPanningCursor();
const Cursor& southWestPanningCursor();
const Cursor& westPanningCursor();
const Cursor& verticalTextCursor();
const Cursor& cellCursor();
const Cursor& contextMenuCursor();
const Cursor& noDropCursor();
const Cursor& notAllowedCursor();
const Cursor& progressCursor();
const Cursor& aliasCursor();
const Cursor& zoomInCursor();
const Cursor& zoomOutCursor();
const Cursor& copyCursor();
const Cursor& noneCursor();
const Cursor& grabCursor();
const Cursor& grabbingCursor();
