I have coloured (and animated) cursors in X. I don't know if that's an
XFree feature or a KDE hack on top of the server though. At the very
least, I doubt it's really portable.
Don't the Allegro docs state that Allegro will use a hardware cursor when
possible? I think this could be extended to mean a hardware or system
cursor on modern platforms. If it's possible to use the system's native
pointer, then we don't even need to draw the sprite ourselves in those
cases, and we probably don't need to scare the mouse either.
Or am I now reading too much into this?
