The cursors in MacOSX are not *easily* editable without a program like Mighty Mouse.
The images are hidden in some code in /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/, I believe. Not positive on that one. I do know that you'll need a hex editor like HexEdit to get at it.
Good Luck. :mac:

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded Mighty Mouse, and that gave me the spinning beachball animation, which is what I was really looking for. I opened that thing in HexEdit, but not to my surprise I had no idea what I was looking at 
But I went to that Changing Cursors page, and it listed the cursors that were coded in that file, and they weren't what I was looking for anyway. Oh well, at least I got the beach ball. Thanks for the help.
