Will you proceed in making the Riddler Premium Large cursor set that I have requested?
@Hopachi
I do not know how to animate the questions marks. If the animation does not work you can make the question marks static and have a few shades of green similar to the green 255 value and make all the cursor sets simply by slight shades of green in animation frames. The question marks are fine as static as long as they are smooth.
There's two sets with dark orange outlines, with either purple or teal center. They are HC as in high contrast and the colours fully reveal themselves on dark backgrounds. The orange & teal version is similar to Hopachi's LLX Main (dark), and in the preview it looks as if the edges are lighter, but they're not - it's an optical illusion.

Thanks for those two extra binary cursor colors. The variations are a great additional choice to add.
I'm using the Orange & Teal one now.
I've modded it a bit... no shadows: saved in 8-bit color, all static. I know sounds retro.
You get a considerable size-reduction. Not that the original in 32-bit is that big, just for fun.

Here's an interesting discovery:
Windows has SVG templates in the Cursors folder. Was there since 2019... I'm probably not the first to discover this but I sense this can be useful for other cursor projects.
I assume these get used by the New Pointer Settings:
Since these are vectors, they can be used in creating standalone custom pointers as well.
I wonder, what if you replace these templates by, let's say some other SVG template, like LLX, your favourite theme, you name it... can you create new ones based on these via settings?

Many thanks for those two additional color variations on the Binary Enchanced cursor sets.

I would like to get an answer from you. Are you willing to make my requested Riddler Premium Large cursors set? All I want is either a yes or no answer.
I am not forcing you to make this set, so if you are having too many controversies with this set then, simply answer me no and do not proceed.
I'm going to make some more adventurous variations now that the basics are more or less done.
So those SVG files are the pointers you get when you choose the custom colour setting?! I didn't expect Windows to support image files as cursors like websites do, yet. What about the other three, does it simply use the existing system cursors for those or are they also SVGs? The edges are treated independently based on how dark the chosen colour is, and from what I know from my brief experiments they are usually either black or grey. It doesn't seem to allow white edges by default if you choose the custom colour setting, and what about animated cursors, would animated SVGs be supported? I doubt Windows can currently modify animated files like it does static ones now.
