Very customizable cursor software? (lemmy.world)

Hi all! Either my Google fu is failing me, or such a cursor software might not have been done yet.

Is there a cursor-customizing software in which I can change the cursor image based on a .png/.gif file (or set of png files), and the image flips depending on movement direction in the X-axis? I kinda want to make a huge cursor, but don't want the image to get in the way of the direction the cursor is traveling.

And um, mint cinnamon btw?

You can do it directly via X11

Not a direct answer, because I don't know of anything like that, but can you make your cursor a cross hair, so its symetrical and transparent near the middle?
