I need help with custom cursors

[Mark Schonewille]

Chris,

I tried as you suggest, but without success. I have an image of 
16x16 pixels, containing three colours: some transparent colour, 
rgb value 0,0,1 and white. I saved it as a png and as a gif file.

The png file is completely white, except for the transparent 
area, when imported. If I use the pencil tool to change one 
pixel, it becomes completely black (except the transparent 
area). If I import the gif file, it gets completely black and 
stays black after changing a pixel (except transparent area).

Would you be willing to describe the process step by step?

Best,

Mark
