I need help with custom cursors

Well, I tried your suggestion, Jonathan.  Unfortunately, it didn't  
work either.  I copied the pointer cursor over to my stack and drew  
in my hourglass image over the top of it.  After I finished my  
beautiful drawing, I set the cursor and the colors were still  
inverted.  How could this happen?  Could there be a bug?  Creating  
and using a custom cursor should not be this hard?

Does anyone else have any ideas?

Chris
