Larger cursor in Java

Question

Is there a possibility to create a larger cursor (by the method createCustomCursor()) than the predefined 32x32 in Windows (e.g. 64x64 or even more)?

Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
final Image cursor = toolkit.getImage(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("images/cursor.png"));
toolkit.getBestCursorSize(64, 64);
Cursor mycursor=toolkit.createCustomCursor(cursor, new Point(0,0), "cursor");
setCursor(mycursor);

I tried the following:

 Cursor emptyCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(new BufferedImage(16, 16, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB), new Point(0, 0), "empty"); 
        setCursor(emptyCursor);

        this.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener(){
            public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
            }

            public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
                xCursor = e.getX();
                yCursor = e.getY();
                repaint();
                //e.consume();
            }
        });

 public void paint( Graphics g ) {
           g.drawImage(cursor, xCursor, yCursor, null);
       }

But it doesn't work, the whole GUI disappears, and the cursor is drawn at every point so i have to delete it in a way?

Answer 1

Is there a method to make a cursor smaller than the predefined 32x32? If so just make a cursor so tiny that it really can't be noticed, or make a transparent cursor... THEN, just move an image to the coordinates of the cursors current location every (insert desired time interval here)
