    Make mouse pointer more modern

    I got bored with that old styled mouse pointer that doesn't look right after those GUI changes made in past years. So decided to make one that fills my needs. Use Mousecape to change the cursor (too bad it still was not compiled for M1 but works). Download my cursor from here

    Cursor re-appears when notifications trigger in full-screen video
