These variables specify which shape to use for the mouse pointer in
various situations, when using the X Window System:
You can specify the mouse pointer style for particular text or
images using the @code{pointer} text property, and for images with the
@code{:pointer} and @code{:map} image properties. The values you can
use in these properties are @code{text} (or @code{nil}), @code{arrow},
@code{hand}, @code{vdrag}, @code{hdrag}, @code{modeline}, and
@code{hourglass}. @code{text} stands for the usual mouse pointer
style used over text.
@table @code
@item x-pointer-shape
@vindex x-pointer-shape
This variable specifies the pointer shape to use ordinarily in the Emacs
frame.
Over void parts of the window (parts that do not correspond to any
of the buffer contents), the mouse pointer usually uses the
@code{arrow} style, but you can specify a different style (one of
those above) by setting @code{void-text-area-pointer}.
@item x-sensitive-text-pointer-shape
@vindex x-sensitive-text-pointer-shape
@defvar void-text-area-pointer
@tindex void-text-area-pointer
This variable specifies the mouse pointer style for void text areas.
These include the areas after the end of a line or below the last line
in the buffer. The default is to use the @code{arrow} (non-text)
pointer style.
@end defvar
You can specify what the @code{text} pointer style really looks like
by setting the variable @code{x-pointer-shape}.
@defvar x-pointer-shape
This variable specifies the pointer shape to use ordinarily in the
Emacs frame, for the @code{text} pointer style.
@end defvar
@defvar x-sensitive-text-pointer-shape
This variable specifies the pointer shape to use when the mouse
is over mouse-sensitive text.

affect existing frames; however, if you set the mouse color of a frame,
that also updates its pointer shapes based on the current values of
these variables. @xref{Color Parameters}.
