I must say, I don't have a clue. With me, the pointer is just the regular pointer. Of course, on an image it will be a plus sign with a small symbol of the tool you have selected. |

With Gimp one of the tools is always active and the mouse pointer will indicate which one it is. The measure tool is closest to a neutral tool as it does not alter the image in any way. Maybe something closer to what you want. Go to: Edit > Preferences > Image Windows and then set: Pointer mode > Tool icon |

Sorry, you can change it in the preference section under the edit tab. Then click on "Image Windows" and in that field you can make it a pointer by choosing the pointer mode, but not a regular pointer. |
