Hi! I’d be very glad if someone is able to tell me if there’s a way to create
colored cursors instead of black and white ones.
Think this is covered in the docs:

SDL mailing list
SDL at lists.libsdl.org
http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org
The fact it’s documented doesn’t deny to implement them in 1.3/2.0 
MacOSX, Win32, X11 all support colored hardware cursors so it’s possible to
write a common API that will work at least on the major OSes targeted by
SDL!
One of the bigger complaints about my latest OSX/Linux port is the fact the
mouse isn’t as smooth as on Windows cause it uses a software pointer and if
the framerate is not very high the mouse movement is jerky…On 3/26/08, JDE wrote:

Yes, let’s definitely add that to the feature list for SDL 1.3.
Anyone want to take a shot at implementing it?
See ya!

Thanks to all who answered this thread giving a good solution to my question. I
have applied the tip resulted working 100%. Glad to hear about the presence of
colored cursors in the next release of SDL.
Thanks again
