'grabber' icon

[Sarah]

Hi Chris,

How about importing one of the extra cursors from the Image Library and 
then editing that to give your grabber hand? There are some funny 
tricks to making a cursor transparent, so you may need to search the 
mailing list archives if you are still having problems.

Cursors need to be 3 colors: black, white and some other color for the 
transparent section. They also need to be a specific size: 16 x 16 is 
cross-platform but Windows can also use 32 x 32.

Cheers,
Sarah
