Can we take a moment to talk about... the Houdini cursor?!

Honestly... first of all I don't understand the reason to override the standard windows cursor, for standard pointing at things.
It just makes things confusing. Especially for someone who has used all his life a black cursor using Houdini with a white cursor is just weird.
Now... about the pointer design in itself: I think we could have done better.



Given how AMAZING the Houdini icons are, this just feels like a big oversight.

I never noticed the cursor was different to be honest.

And yes, the Houdini icons looks great!

That's weird, because I think that not even the shape matches the standard windows pointer -don't know about other platforms. But if you were using a black cursor you would probably have noticed it.

The hackish way:

- Copy all black*files from $HH/config/Cursorsinto $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR/config/Cursors
- Rename them all to white*
