Bug? Home Page: Is cursor consistency important?

I would expect that all Explore cards would be clickable. Yet some show an arrow pointer (with a tooltip) while others show a hand pointer.

Is there some human interface or design guideline which determines that [opening the] Psalms Explorer [tool] should use an arrow pointer, yet (opening a) Word Study (Original Language) [guide] should use a hand pointer?

Pointers


Shape	Name	When used
	Normal select	Used for most objects.
	Link select	Used for text and graphics links because of their weak affordance.
	Text select	Used for text to indicate a location between characters.
	Precision select	Used for graphic and other two-dimensional interaction.

"affordance" the thing indicates how it is to be used

Ok, so the image cards (verse of the day and the videos) use a hand to indicate that they are clickable graphics. That makes sense.

Why would Start a new Workflow use a hand -- it doesn't look like an image -- since it looks similar to Explore the Psalms and Study with the Greek Alphabet Tutor cards.

Hey, I just gave you the guideline ... I didn't say that Logos did a good job of following it [:P] 'cuz they didn't [8-|]

Heh, thanks MJ! I will appreciate that some cursor choices make more sense now, rather than hoping for all the choices to make sense.
