How To Create Cursors

Cursors on Windows XP and Windows Vista currently support a size of 32×32 pixels only. Color depth can be up to 32-bit which means cursors can be alpha-transparent. So to create a cursor you first create a 32×32 pixels sized image in Photoshop or whatever your preferred image editor is. For an animated cursor you´ll need an image for each frame. After that you use a cursor editor that allows you to make a CUR (or ANI) file.

A free cursor editor, that supports alpha-transparent animated cursors, is Real World Cursor Editor An other free cursor editor, that also supports alpha-transparent animated cursors, is AniTuner
