I tried Q4OS 6.0 Alpha!

Unfortunately, I can't go any further with the test browsing because one of my biggest problems is that the mouse pointer is not really visible for some reason.

It responds to the mouse, and sometimes the buttons change when the mouse is moved towards it, but you can't see the little arrow. And in many cases the mouse buttons are not usable either. So there was a button that I would hover the mouse over, that's how I knew the button had changed, and then I would press enter and that's how I got to the function in question.

Maybe this is because of the radio RAPOO Keyboard and Mouse or maybe because of the VirtuálBox, but in previous versions e.g. 5.7 there were no such problems.

My other observation is that the image that shows the galaxy when installing is too bright and the text is difficult to read in many cases. Either the image should be darkened a bit, or a darker but transparent panel should be placed behind the text.

That's my observation for now, I hope that this might help the developers.

Just did a quick test in QEMU/KVM and whilst not seeing quite the same issue, I did find the cursor to be much smaller than normal when using size 18 in the settings.
I also noticed the screen scaling button in the welcome screen didn't do anything.

We are aware of the issues mentioned, mouse pointer visibility and missing screen scaling. Keep in mind, it's pre-alpha release, so don't expect things will work:)

In anyway thanks for reporting you are welcome to post more.

OK, I was just trying it out.
I know it's pre-alpha and I wouldn't have used it as a final system, just out of curiosity.
