I'm currently trying to work on this problem. I'm working on this
together
with the inclusion of a windows mode for Exotica applications to
run in instead just of the fullscreen mode.

Yes, you can do that. They just have to be a different number. They get
stored in a linked list so it wont waste memory for higher values like
that. So as an example, if you assigned mouse pointers to id 1-3,
tiles to id 20-100 and sprites to id 500-600, the linked list will only
have 183 entries.
