Mouse Cursors
Does anyone know of a way to convert images into cursor files, or make them from scratch?
I've often wanted to make my own pointer scheme for my computer, but I never found out how.
Just curious,

Re: Mouse Cursors
you can look up the file format, but basically they consist of two parts: The image in bitmap format, and a mask (binary). In addition there is a location that stores the pointer location (example: tip of arrow).
It is in fact the same file format used for icons, but it contains more data (the pointer). Wikipedia explains it much better than i can.

Re: Mouse Cursors
i use a free program called IconEdit. Edits both icons and cursors. And converts between the two.
