Mouse Cursors
Scratch should add a way to have custom mouse pointers for projects.
I feel like in the next Scratch update each project should have a sprite that you can't delete like the Backdrop but for the mouse pointer. There should be options to customise the mouse costume and hide/show it. I always felt like there should be a way to add custom cursors because the only way right now is to have a sprite that goes to mouse pointer, which isn't as good as the mouse is still in the way.
If hiding it would be a problem, I feel like changing the mouse costume would be fine. I know it says not to be able to change it but I don't see why not, it doesn't necessarily “change” the project but the option would still be nice. Maybe it just needs a feauture that the mouse needs at least a certain amount drawn on it.
There are some moments I would use this like being able to change the cursor type in a game or turning into the clicking style when hovering over a button. It doesn't really seem that game changing but personalisation would at least make projects unique and allow more creativity. Either way, I hope some form is added.

switch cursor to [target v]
if <touching [mouse pointer v] ?> then
switch cursor to [question mark v]
end
next mouse

1.8 Blocks that control the mouse pointerlink
This block, and others, could be used to hide the mouse pointer, change the way that it looks, freeze it, or prevent it from leaving the project screen. These blocks, however, do not significantly change the types of projects that can be created with Scratch; for more information, see this post. In addition, they may confuse users by having them wonder where the mouse pointer went.
trouble with clones? view my clone id toolbox! I also have built the bases of a tower defence game link here.
If someone on help with scripts is saying that something can't be done, they should be suspected of being a team limit grunt.

if you are suggesting a rejected suggestion, you need to give a solution to the problems that got the suggestion rejected, and you should do so in the OP (first post) anyway, mouse control limited to changing the appearance to certain presets is not rejected, you can discuss it here

I see why they reject hiding the mouse, but changing it isn't bad, I have added a reason in my OP.

I see why they reject hiding the mouse, but changing it isn't bad, I have added a reason in my OP.you need to emphasize that this is a limited amount of mouse control more, and re-format the OP to be readable. otherwise, It is impossible to tell if this suggestion would be deemed outside of the scope of the rejection.

~snip~this suggestion is broader and includes the idea of custom costumes, so it's not a dupe.

What do you mean by “readable”? Do you want me to add paragraphs?
