Magic cursor for Zone Tool's auto-geometries

The Zone tool has three geometry methods, shown in the attached screenshot.

The first involves manually clicking about to create the polygon.

The second and third methods automatically detect zone boundaries much like using the Magic Wand, yet the exact same plus sign (+) cursor is displayed when these methods are selected. There is thus no visual clue that a single click will create the zone.

This automatic zone creation is different from using the magic wand in that it only pays attention to elements that have been marked in their settings as "zone boundaries". The magic wand makes no such distinction.

Still:

For better user feedback, my wish is that for these two automatic zone methods the on-screen cursor iconography changes. It could perhaps just be the magic wand, but perhaps it should be the + symbol but with the magic wand 'sparkles' surrounding it, to convey that zone boundaries will be 'magically' used (rather than visible boundaries, as in other magic wand usage).

Cheers,
Karl
