Different OS Cursors?

[mmprod]

I believe if I wanted to use macOS's cursors, I would have to download svg copies of those and use those svg paths with .setMouseCursor. And same for windows. Does this mean I have to have some way to detect the OS, and change which cursor is displayed accordingly?

@mmprod but why?

@Christoph-Hart for example: if I hover over a knob, the mouse turns into the cursor rather than a pointer to show that the knob is clickable

@mmprod A few days ago I made a pull request to update the documentation.:

Instead of pathIcon, one of the following standard cursors can also be used as a string:
