    Applying themes like that is later in the boot process, so I don't believe that would be possible.

    You are clearly aware that in general if different users had different themes, the login screen would have to be generic.

    You'll need to change the default cursor. It is the one shown at login screen.

    Via the registry, located at:
    HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Cursors

    You'll need to change those, or at least the pointer and busy/working, manually.
    Make a backup of the original entries just in case.

    Cheers!
