I’ve had literally no problem with aiming in fact aiming is easier. It took no getting used to whatsoever. I changed it because I was doing a video demonstrating a feature on a touch screen but using a mouse and it seemed closest to the touch tracking while doing a screen recording on a phone. I found I liked it and had no desire to go back.
I like the symmetry quite a bit as well as how easy it is to identify things I can interact with (black dot inside) vs things that I cannot (black border). I also really dig the thick text cursor. My only complaint is the resize handle is not super obvious. It’s kind of a lemon shape.
I’m about an hour into giving this circular cursor thing a try, and I think I’m a convert. You think it’d be hard to click on things given the overlap, but the color swap when you’re over an interactable really sells it. Thanks!
I thought the narrator sounded familiar. Their videos on displays of different kinds are utterly mesmerizing. What an unreasonably high quality channel.
years ago i read that the reason for the lopsidedness of the cursor was because of the old crt monitors. it just looked better having two edges being 'straight'; one exactly vertical up and down, one exactly horizontal, left to right; as those edges would have no 'jaggies'
i believe it’s just pointing out the misalignment of the graphic. people may be under the impression that something like a cursor has mathematically precise proportions, but it does not.
yeah it has kind of an optical balance to it. i don’t mind that it’s not mathematically perfect because it appears proportional. optics are all that matters, especially in pixel art.
(edit: i guess ‘pixel art’ isn’t correct anymore because it’s a vector graphic, but it used to be pixels!)
I have to say the “everything flat” was kind of a weird process. I think it looks better than in the old chaotic days. But something in between is best.

macOS Catalina is probably my favourite OS design, as a Linux user. No unnecessary padding like Big Sur and onwards, not overly flat like many older versions, everything clickable looks clickable, it’s great.

Squeezing a square about 1% helps it look more like a square; to appear the same height as a square, a circle must be measurably taller. The two strokes in an X aren’t the same thickness, nor are their parallel edges actually parallel; the vertical stems of a lowercase alphabet are thinner than those of its capitals; the ascender on a d isn’t the same length as the descender on a p, and so on.
