On WINE, the selection icon does not appear when holding down the shift key, the other icons such as the paint bucket and replacing tiles display just fine.

This issue has persisted within past versions of NEXXT running on WINE.

Pay attention to the mouse cursor shown in this video:


Additional Info:

Distro: Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2

Mouse Theme: DMZ-White

Thanks for the report. While i don't have the means to replicate it, i've forwarded the issue to the nesdev discord to see if others have had similar experiences. Maybe they have some suggestions. 

EDIT: I got some help from CutterCross. It seems this OS does not support cursors/icons with a colour index representing "inverse from background" - which is why both the precision cursors and the paint spilling out of the bucket aren't showing. 

As a first step, i'll add compatibility cursors you can replace with manually. Later, hopefully, i might figure out how to do this smoother for mint users (and potentially others i don't know of). 

Cheers, I have checked out that NESDev Discord conversation you've mentioned to understand it further, I can likely tolerate with your plan of manually replacing the icons plan on my end.

Honestly, learning that this is a Linux distro issue partially doesn't surprise me.

I decided to make the "safe for linux" variants the standard so people don't have to figure it out themselves. 
The old ones are put in a subfolder. I'm just about to upload a new version.
