I really want to hear that answer.
You could probably just make one. Instead of the regular cursor .png , why not make a transparent .png in its place.

It's a Zen Koan, similar to the one below:
The master of Kennin temple was Mokurai, Silent Thunder. He had a little protege named Toyo who was only twelve years old. Toyo saw the older disciples visit the master's room each morning and evening to receive instruction in sanzen or personal guidance in which they were given koans to stop mind-wandering.
Toyo wished to do sanzen also.
"Wait a while," said Mokurai. "You are too young."
But the child insisted, so the teacher finally consented.
In the evening little Toyo went at the proper time to the threshold of Mokurai's sanzen room. He struck the gong to announce his presence, bowed respectfully three times outside the door, and went to sit before the master in respectful silence.
"You can hear the sound of two hands when they clap together," said Mokurai. "Now show me the sound of one hand."
Toyo bowed and went to his room to consider this problem. From his window he could hear the music of the geishas. "Ah, I have it!" he proclaimed.
The next evening, when his teacher asked him to illustrate the sound of one hand, Toyo began to play the music of the geishas.
"No, no," said Mokurai. "That will never do. That is not the sound of one hand. You've not got it at all."
Thinking that such music might interrupt, Toyo moved his abode to a quiet place. He meditated again. "What can the sound of one hand be?" He happened to hear some water dripping. "I have it," imagined Toyo.
When he next appeared before his teacher, Toyo imitated dripping water.
"What is that?" asked Mokurai. "That is the sound of dripping water, but not the sound of one hand. Try again."
In vain Toyo meditated to hear the sound of one hand. He heard the sighing of the wind. But the sound was rejected.
He heard the cry of an owl. This also was refused.
The sound of one hand was not the locusts.
For more than ten times Toyo visited Mokurai with different sounds. All were wrong. For almost a year he pondered what the sound of one hand might be.
At last little Toyo entered true meditation and transcended all sounds. "I could collect no more," he explained later, "so I reached the soundless sound."

copy the folder to your desktop
open the folder
pick a png
open it in a graphics program that can handle png and transparency (paint.net, photoshop, photoshop elements, paint shop pro, gimp, etc) {if you don't have one, paint.net, gimp, others out there are free}
erase every thing on the png so it's transparent
save it
do the next png
continue until all pngs are now blank
copy the folder back - say yes to replace
try it out
tell us how it's working for ya

I do need to say that it is a classic and not of my own composition.
Check out books on Zen by (or translated by) Paul Reps. That dude knows the the gateless gate.

EDIT: Well believe or not if you have Cursor XP Plus you can go into options and pick transparency and you can almost make the cursor invisible. I tried it and still had a very faint shadow. I don't think it's an option on regular Cursor XP.
