A new idea... maybe...

I was thinking about cursor sets. Most times it is pretty basic, in fact, like 90% of cursor graphics can be done with SVG vector format.
How about adding vector support into cursorxp? You could have an amazing program ( what? it's not amazing adready?? ) that has those features:
Cursor that looks very fancy, but under 1k file size.
Want a cursor that's 500x500 pixels or 10x10 pixels but looks as slick as ever? Using the same file for both? It's possible with vectors. I would love to have cursors that I can scale according to my taste or skin.
I know there's adready color support, but vector format SVG has support for color gradients, radial gradients, any color, etc. You can easily change colors on any shape.
Longhorn will come with interface with vector support. Why not cursors too?

Sounds good to me. Or go even further and have you icon rotate flip and what not.
But er, I know SVG is text based, but what tools are there to create them with in an intuitive fashion?

Whow would want a 500x500 cursor, when the HotPoint is only one pixel, seems silly to me

Bingo! I have been playing around with Sodipodi and it works pretty well. It's still a beta and sometimes crash, however.

Having a great big huge cursor would be kinda funny really if you could get it onto one of your friends computers.
