How to get nice looking Hand cursor, similar to Default cursor and Wait cursor.

For example:

Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR);

on windows l&f (windows 7) returns nice looking animated cursor with drop shadow, while

Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR);

returns win98-style plain Hand cursor without drop shadow. Since cursors in java don't support semi-transparent pixels in cursor images, how do I get drop shadow effect? Or is there another way to get nice looking win7 Hand cursor?

@trashgod Thanks, drawing on glass pane according to mouse position should do the trick. – krsi Oct 26 '14 at 04:46
