ok, i've added a function:

/* set_mouse_default_colors:
 *  Changes the default mouse pointer colors. Set enable to false to use
 *  the defaults of allegro.
 */
void set_mouse_default_colors(int enable, int col1, int col2)

however, can someone else add it to the docs?

also included in this patch as well (>8bpp modes will have white arrows)
but also note that if the desktop_palette (the one of the old-atari ;) is
set, the mouse in
8bpp will still be (altough with default ibm one (or none set) it will be
white) -- this is as it has
been all the time, so, iow: no changes in 8bpp, changes in >8bpp (so dont
complain that 8bpp
now have black arrows in screen mode seleciton of the examples for example
because it has
been black all the time ;)

oh, yeah. my editor has very much problems following allegro tab-indent. can
someone fix their indent before commiting?

thnx
