      Upgrade to 2013 and you'll have a colored axis for your rotate view tool.

      for some reason the screenshot won't grab the cursor. so here it's something like this.

        big improvement... thank you for the information
        it will help to rotate
        and what about the cursor for translation? is it in color also?

          Kristoff, you mean the Orbit tool, don't you? That's what shows in your screen shot.

          The Move tool itself doesn't show any direction reference. Once you start moving the object you get the trailing line in the color of the axis to which the move is parallel just like always. The protractor of the Rotate tool changes color based on axis just as it always has, too.

            Indeed... Orbit. But that's what the center mouse button is right? an orbit?

              Yes. And the cursor converts to that tool but it isn't rotating the model. 😉

                That's why I said rotate view. 😉

                  Hopefully the OP doesn't confuse Orbit and Rotate. 😉

                    using the actual name of tools is highly over rated...

                          Not at all. Between us we are making sure this thread has been well and truly hijacked, though.

                            concerning global axis...

                            blue axis is not a problem

                            i have seen a plugin that changes the cursor using a bmp file; i don't remember the name;

                            it could be a solution, since a flat cursor could show red and green directions

                            how to change the cursor using a bmp or jpg file?
