Semi-transparent cursor [duplicate]

Answer 1

This might solve your problem

public Cursor pointer() throws Exception {

        int[] pixels = new int[16 * 16];

        Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(
                new MemoryImageSource(16, 16, pixels, 0, 16));

        Cursor transparentCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(
                         image, new Point(0, 0), "transparentCursor");
        return transparentCursor;
}
