Hires mouse pointer win WB2.X?

I have a WinUAE setup which emulates an Amiga 3000 with Workbench 2.X. One thing that is bothering me is the clumsy lores mouse pointer in Hires mode, and I was wondering if anyone knows any hacks to make the pointer in Hires...?

On A4000 OS3.X with DBLPAL mode, the mouse pointer looks nice in Hires...

I might be wrong but I think hires sprites is an AGA feature, it does not exist on ECS. Anyway, Prefs/Pointer should be able to let you switch it on if it is possible.

As Thomas already said, ECS (and OCS) does not allow to switch the sprite resolution. One sprite pixel is either one low-res pixel wide on lo-res or hi-res screens, or one hi-res pixel wide on super-hires.

I ended up switching to Multiscan:Productivity mode (640x480). In this mode the mouse pointer is vertically squashed, and at least smaller than PAL hires. Thanks for the input, Thomas and Thomas.
