I just made my own custom mouse theme (replacing the arrow with stuff), it was really simple and easy to do, just download this trial version of this program.

http://www.aha-soft.com/artcursors/

My first theme is from Link to the Past, it's not that good, but I still think it's cool (... because I made it Cool ).

http://rapidshare.com/files/448744279/LOZ_mouse_theme.rar

here are the contents of my .inf file (edit the name of the theme if you make your own) if you want to create and install your own theme, just save the .cur or .ani images under the same name of the strings listed in the file. Keep in mind though, if you decide not to make Dim_horz (the horizontal mouse drag for a window) an animated image, you have to change the string and listed contents name from .ani to .cur or else the .inf install will be unable to locate it.

It's still kind of fun to find sprites that symbolize each mouse icon purpose Wink
