Answer 1

Don’t. Just Don’t.

Or set the cursor style on the body tag.

In order to set a ‘special’ non-windows icon, you have to reference a URL to a cursor icon (.cur).

body
{
   cursor:url(customCursor.cur);
}

However, I highly recommend you do not set a custom cursor. It will only serve to annoy users.

I do believe this will cause all other pointers to be overridden. I.e. your anchor tags would also use the custom icon. If you wanted to keep the standard icon, you’d have to set the cursor on all the other standard html tags, i.e.:

a
{
   cursor:pointer;
}
