Any Method to Make Custom Cursors larger?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

At my current LCD screen resolution of 1600x1200 icons and cursors are, of
course scaled smaller. Icons size can be changed using XP display
properties, but I have not found a way to enlarge several specific cursors I
like, short of using XPs boring system cursors (LARGE size) I am stymied...
Anyone know of an App or tweak that can enlarge these custom cursors? Thank
you...

I am in need of an answer for this exact question also. I use a custom cursor I designed through an online cursor creator, but the maximum size is not nearly large enough for what I need it for. Any suggestions?

I also use Microangelo Tools full and make my own cursors (I'm a personalization addict from cursors to themes)
I think they also have a 30 day trial , see here:
http://microangelo.us/free-icon-editor-download.asp
Download the Microangelo tools , and install. Now go to the Microangelo studio shortcut and open it.
This is your editing/changing cursor and icon program.
About the size, you can use 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, the latest one is the biggest.
But watch out for the colour depth(bits) you have on desktop!!!
Go to your resolution settings on rightclickdesktop>properties>settings , to see your color depth.
Never use a bigger collor depth(bits) then the one U have set, when changing/making a cursor or icon!!! it is just a cursor but it can cause very bad errors if you don't use the apropiate color depth when U make/change the cursor.

I have a 1080 res monitor and have thought of a very cool idea that for a game I play that would be very beneficial to create a custom cursor for.... Basically I would want a cursor that has a dot(selection) in center with a circle around it probably around 200-300 pixels from the center dot. Is this even possible?
