change color of the mouse method

[Justin]

I have a java app with a picture in it. When the mouse scrolls over a
certain regions in the picture (which I have mapped out), I would like
the color of the mouse to change from white to red or yellow or some
other color. I've tried looking through the javadocs, but I quickly
realized that I am unsure of what I am looking for. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like you want to use setCursor:

You'll probably have to define your own custom cursor, though.
