Which black cursor? There are several. The arrow pointer? Anyhow, it's certainly possible, or software like this wouldn't be possible: <http://unsanity.com/haxies/mightymouse> You'd have to figure out which resources to replace though. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Mighty Mouse is virtually all that exists, and while I believe it's been updated for Leopard/Snow Leopard, it has the limitation of it only working per login session. That is, if you install a custom cursor theme, you have to reset it everytime you log on.

It's possible though that it's not stored in a "plain picture format" but as some binary stuff, so it might be difficult to find.

I was also thinking on MightyMouse, but no, it isnot updated since 06/02/2009 and the homepage tells that it won't work with Leopard, and then probably neither on SnowLeopard... http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/mightymouse Cheers, Erik Rcihard -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Erik Richard Sørensen, Member of ADC, <mac-manNOSP(a)Mstofanet.dk> NisusWriter - The Future In Multilingual Text Processing - www.nisus.com OpenOffice.org - The Modern Productivity Solution - www.openoffice.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
