A really big mouse cursor

Hello Eli,

I need to work with a bigger cursor and so far the only idea
I have come up with is using a borderless frame that follows
the mouse around.

Why in the world would you like to have such a big cursor? :wink:
Anyway, I haven't tried it myself (I mean, directly applied to a cursor), but I would go for something like:

1) Create a bitmap with the cursor shape and colours that you like, using transparent (alpha) pixels for empty regions;
2) Create a frame with the same shape as the cursor, following the phylosophy of ShapedWindow in the wxPython demo.

I have done something similar to create and advanced splashwindow (that's called AdvancedSplash), and it seems to me that it works almost on all platforms...

Andrea.
