if you don't want to use it "globally" but just for your own app, you could simply use NSCursor's initWithImage:hotSpot:.

You could subclass NSCursor, and pose as the NSCursor class, and hack this addition into the AppKit (it isn't too hard). See this <a href="http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.14/14.03/RhapsodyinPurple/" target="_blank">MacTech article</a> for more information. Then just override NSCursor's arrowCursor method and return a different cursor intialized from any image. This would of course only affect Cocoa apps, but it would be interesting.

The advantage with the Cocoa API is that almost any image can be used as a cursor (eg. TIFF, PNG) and this is including transparency and full alpha masks--that's how the magnifying glass cursor on the Cocoa colour palette is achieved. I think the cursor will be much easier to hack in Jaguar, as it looks like a TIFF or something like that is used to give the cursor a shadow. As for whether the Finder is a Cocoa app--unfortunately, it is not. That's only been the topic of about 1,000 threads  .

Old school mac hackers won't be much help, since hacking OS X is very different from hacking classic. No trap patching, for starters.
