Is your Enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.

-Scale option for cursor (increase cursor size).

Additional context

Cursor customization is very good, just feels unfortunate that I can't make my cursor larger size.

As I don't have time, I won't be able to implement it as a feature. I promise that if I have time and work on version 1.0.9.1, I'll implement it.

Anyway, you can do this manually. Open Registry Editor, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Cursors and set values for CursorBaseSize in Decimal base to 32, 48, or 64, and so on. Finally, log off and log on.

I notice it gets pixelated during loading.
Tried to attach screenshot when it gets pixelated, but it would show small cursor in taken screenshot.

But it does work, thanks!

There are fixes for apploading and busy cursors. As I couldn't make the animated cursors have different sizes in a single file, I made the renderer generate multiple sizes.

In Control Panel > Mouse, manually load apploading and busy cursors from this path: %localappdata%\Abdelrhman-AK\WinPaletter\Cursors, and you will find files with names following this format: ...._l.ani and ...._xl.ani.

Load the suitable ones for you.
