I'm looking for something that will change / highlight / override software cursors in games. I found http://www.cursornode.com/ on the webs and it works, but I'm looking for alternatives. Maybe something open source since I have to run it with elevated privileges.

The problem I'm trying to solve is the fact that the game I MB (Anarchy Online) has a software cursor so it disappears the cursor when you hover over other windows until you click through into the game, and I don't enjoy having to click without knowing where the cursor is. It leads to targeting problems and camera funkyness. Especially when I quickly need to toss a heal on a raid member since there are no hotkey's to target them.

Thanks for the help!

Windows 10 has a mouse setting where pressing CTRL shows where the mouse cursor is. I know its not exactly what you are looking for but it seems a passable workaround until you find something.

Thanks for the tip. I actually turned that on a few weeks ago but since CTRL is my primary modifier key it was more distracting than helpful for me. The linked util maintains a cursor at the hardware position even if an application disables it to render its software version (as long as it runs at the same or higher privileges which means as admin because ISBoxer & Innerspace run as admin).
