title: Custom Mouse Cursor for Tkinter on Windows
body: <p>I am trying to make a game using tkinter that will have it's own special mouse. I have seen a lot of desktop games that use this and have seen related questions but don't know how to do it for windows and python 3. I tried to do <code>root['cursor']="@mouse.cur"</code> but I get this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "C:/Python32/game.py", line 4, in &lt;module&gt;
      root["cursor"]="@mouse.cur"
    File "C:\Python32\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1200, in __setitem__
      self.configure({key: value})
    File "C:\Python32\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1193, in configure
      return self._configure('configure', cnf, kw)
    File "C:\Python32\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1184, in _configure
      self.tk.call(_flatten((self._w, cmd)) + self._options(cnf))
  _tkinter.TclError: bad cursor spec "@mouse.cur"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have a file in the same directory called <code>mouse.cur</code> and has correct dimensions (32x32) and is not corrupt. Could someone tell me if I am supposed to put it into some sort of subfolder of do it some other way. Thanks in advance.<br><br>Windows 10, Python 3.2.2</p>
