Mac Cursor Folder

Question

I've been researching for a couple hours now, and I want to find my Mac system default cursor. Not any mouseover, I just want the default cursor. I am running one of the older versions of Mac, which is: 10.4.11;

I was told that the cursors are in here:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HiServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/cursors

But, there seems to be no Cursors folder in

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HiServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/  

Please help. I want a smoothy. :P

Answer 1

After doing a bit of digging, I found this:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/EFILogin.framework/Versions/A/Resources/EFIResourceBuilder.bundle/Contents/Resources/[email protected]

Hope this is what you were looking for.

The default arrow needs to be displayed at times when the rest of the system may not be available (e.g. at boot) so it is probably stored in a special place such as in the hardware itself.

The closest image to the default cursor is probably the "contextual menu", here:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/cursors/contextualmenu/cursor_1only_.png

With some minor edits you could probably turn this image into a whole arrow picture.

Most other cursors have images in WebKit, here:

/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/WebCore.framework/Resources/
