Description: 1. Implement various cursor types: e.g. Arrow (up, left, etc), Cross, Laserpointer, etc; 2. Allow users to set specific cursor on each slide (including size and color of the cursor); During slide-show: change the cursor on that slide to the specified cursor. Default: NO cursor (invisible). Other Issues: Somewhat related: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96886 Meta: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103610 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enhancement 2. Request for different Cursor types 3. Set specific cursor types on certain slides Actual Results: Functionality is unavailable. Should be possible to select the cursor also during the presentation. Expected Results: Specific cursor (e.g. Arrow or Cross or Laserpointer) displayed on the given slide.

Let's ask UX-team
(In reply to Leonard from comment #0) > 2. Allow users to set specific cursor on each slide... Probably not as part of the presentation/slide layout (remember that we need to follow the ODF format and have to consider cross-plattform/application consistency) but why not allow to switch from the default to the hand cursor per context menu?
While it could be a UI/presenter's appearance customization (so unique to a specific install)--it would need some means of cataloging the cursors to be used if implemented per slide in any single presentation. Like the document theme colors extending ODF to support OOXML themes. *IFF* ODF can record the alternate cursor flavors, sure. +1
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Additionally to the idea of a special cursor on presentations (which would be close to an easy hack) it might be desirable to change the cursor depending on some region. It could be realized by binding the cursor type to a certain drawing style - and to use a transparent object with this style.
This would allow some more "game-ification" of presentations, especially when combined with animations. For example: You have a cursor shaped like a flower, and you click with it on an area with the image of a vase, which, on click, becomes a vase with flowers. Or a cursor which looks like a question mark; you can hover with it over areas corresponding to possible answers, and the the areas, or the cursors, or both, will change to indicate whether the answer is valid. And all sorts of effects in this vein.
