Custom Cursors

Find your REAPER resource path by choosing "Options > Show REAPER resource path in explorer/finder..."

Locate the 'Cursors' folder.

Valid .cur cursor files placed within that folder will override the default cursor of the same name. A REAPER restart is required to enable the override.
