Very customizable cursor software? (lemmy.world)

Hi all! Either my Google fu is failing me, or such a cursor software might not have been done yet.

Is there a cursor-customizing software in which I can change the cursor image based on a .png/.gif file (or set of png files), and the image flips depending on movement direction in the X-axis? I kinda want to make a huge cursor, but don't want the image to get in the way of the direction the cursor is traveling.

And um, mint cinnamon btw?

There was a post a little while ago about svg cursors. Might be up your alley. I didn't look into it too much.

Not a direct answer, because I don't know of anything like that, but can you make your cursor a cross hair, so its symetrical and transparent near the middle?

Something like: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1964585

Just installed this and made my cursor bigger. Single best customisation I've ever made on windows!
