Comment on Why is the mouse cursor slightly tilted and not straight?parent

Comments

This is true for most default cursors, but custom cursor file formats let you change the coordinates of the active pixel (see: 'left-handed' mirrored arrow cursors, or crosshair-type ones.). The link 'finger' cursor on most OSes is a default example where the active pixel isn't the top-left one.

For resize arrows it's pretty much a must.

The caret cursor over textfields as well.
