You're probably thinking more or a theme change to alter your cursor, but I thought of this when I read your post; as a possible alternative.

To use a custom cursor in RB, just create your crosshair cursor resource in any resource editor (ResEdit under Classic will work), and drag the resource file to your RB project.
Then, when you need to change the cursor in your game, use the MouseCursor property of the relevant object. Look for MouseCursor in the RB online help for more.

Just download the free ResEdit. Fire it up in Classic, and create a new resource of type CURS. You can create the cursor in ResEdit's rudimentary cursor editor.
Open ResEdit, and select New from the File menu. Then select Create New Resource from the Resource menu. Use the cursor editor to make your cursor and its mask.
To give your cursor a name that RB can understand, click on the window named "CURSs from XXXXX" (where XXXXX is your resource file name or Untitled). Select the only cursor, which should be labeled "128" then select Get Resource Info from the Resource menu. Leave the ID at 128 and type in a descriptive name.
Save the resource file and drag the file into your RB project, and you can now refer to your cursor by name as described in the RB Online help.
What could be easier?
'Hope this helps...
