Comment 9 for bug 1731523

The problem with the mouse pointer a fixed hotspot. When reading the code i think the hotspot is at 3,7. So we need something which looks like pointing to 3,7. But you are right, the mouse pointer isn't good.

> I like the concept for the new button icon - Let's have it as the tab icon, and another one with just a road for the build road action?

The idea behind my suggestion is: Road building is done by placing flags. It isn't possible to build a road without flags. More over with the button it is possible to place only flags without building a road. So in my mind the Flag is the important image for the button. Hm.. maybe using the same image for button and mouse pointer would be good... have to fiddle...

The Tab instead is used to give access to actions related to a flag. Beside giving the possibility to connect flags with roads, the tab gives also other possibilities, e.g. Sending a geologist. So in my mind the Tab image should reflect the actions a user accesses when clicking on the tab. Placing Flags (with or without building a road) is just one possibility. Using only a road as tab icon doesn't fit imho (beside i believe this would result in the same problem as you had with my mouse pointer suggestion ;-) )
