The normal browser behavior is to show some kind of pointer when you're mouse-hovering on something that will produce navigation. Saturn simply replaces the standard "pointing finger" icon with a directional arrow.

In place of the directional arrow on the image, would you want to let the browser do its usual routine (see finger.png), or would you want to suppress the "pointing finger," as well, leaving only the regular "nothing's going to happen" arrow cursor (see nohint.png)?

And the quick fix, for either option. Head for Saturn > Code > CSS and enter this for the "pointing finger" cursor:

a.fbPrevPanel, a.fbNextPanel {cursor: pointer !important;}

And for the "no hint plain arrow" cursor:

a.fbPrevPanel, a.fbNextPanel {cursor: default !important;}

Thanks for pointing out the obvious (well, almost obvious to me).

Answer: the nohint.png option CSS fix is the highest priority for me.
Worked fine, of course.
MUCH Lower priority, but figured I'd ask.I'm wondering
if it's a simple replacement in which I can specify any symbol.
I like the current arrow, but might choose a less obvious version,
i.e. smaller and/ or hollow.

Thanks!

I don't plan to add this as a skin feature - the custom CSS options will do the trick. I'm trying to avoid the "endless byzantine options" phenomenon.

If you want a skinnier arrow, try the "skinny icons" choice under Saturn > Index Page & Icons > Icon Style. See screenshot.

BTW, the problem with less obvious arrows, like one that's hollow, is that a black-outlined, transparent arrow on a dark background vanishes completely.
