Looking for the cursor icon files in Mac OS X

Recently I was looking for a nice hand cursor which I could use for a presentation. After staring at the Google results for something like a Phootoshop file, I realized that the perfect example was right there, just before I even clicked a link: Since it's last iteration, Apples OS X sports wonderful and perfectly scalable new vector-based cursors – which have to be on the system somewhere. Luckily they were not stored in a binary, but as files in this folder:

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

So next time you need a cursor to explain a client where he has to click, try those. They look familiar and they work just great.

So long.
