Hi kids, I'm back again in my thread.
I developed some code to simulate the a-blended (shaded ) mouse cursor.
See the attached ZIP, it also includes the source code.
Unfortunately, there's some flicker (guess the for-next loop 32x32 getpixel and setpixelv) but I did not had the time yet to solve this.
I also think that I should use another mask (a coloured one) for the shadow effect.
