Yeah, that would be pretty neat. I've been working on a cursor set  
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Produce/ 
Incoming?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=unfi.png), but it's very  
monotonous so far. Something like this could be a nice addition. I'll  
see to making a few sketches.

Do you mean that instead of using a radial light, we use, say, a  
raytraced light hovering over the Ubuntu logo? Or a little bit  
lighter radial light that perhaps isn't as sharp, as Who is  
suggesting? I think that a raytraced light might not work very well  
on small sizes.

PS: sorry for inactivity in the channel. I promised you some work on  
the GTK, but I've unfortunately been terribly busy and today I have  
another meeting until late. But still, I haven't given up work. :)
