Why?
2009...
Well, I couldn't find a Windows port of Jens Luetkens excellent opaque ComixCursors without a shadow and didn't require CursorXP to install them. I wanted Windows to manage the shadow as the one built in to the cursor displayed as solid black when dragging in XP, so I decided to port them myself.
They were ported using Ubuntu in a Portable VirtualBox and converted to Windows format with RealWorld Cursor Editor.

So after using ComixCursors for a while I felt I needed a change. I fired up Inkscape and set to work. When I use Windows 10, these are what I now use.
