How do I edit cursor color?

I know how to extract the cursors.act/spr and all that

I just want to change the color. I tried googling a lot of stuff but I didn't find anything really.

If you have the .act and the .spr, wouldn't it be pretty much the same process as changing any other sprites?

Download SPR Conview from RO Tools

Open the Cursor.spr using conview and select convert Spr to Bmp to extract all the frames to a desired folder.

Open the first frame.BMP in photoshop and use replace color tool to change the color palette of the cursor and save.

Open SPR Conview and using convert Bmp to Spr select all the Bmp frames along with the first recolored and all the other frames will auto convert to the palette of the first frame.

If you used anything besides replace color or use pencil tool to edit certain pixels then you will have to do that for all frames.

That's the easiest way to recolor all sprites. If you want to make a new cursor sprite then just edit all the frames and merge it back. If you alter the position of the image in the frames then you will have to edit the act files using actOR.

Edit: here are some premade custom cursors https://rathena.org/board/files/file/2702-cursor-collection/
