Multi-resolution Windows Cursors

In Windows 7 and later, the mouse cursor size is not constant. It can change with the display resolution, scale (DPI), and mouse cursor size. In Windows 11, screen settings can be managed in Settings > System > Display. You'll see options for Scale and Display Resolution under Scale & layout. Your options for these settings can depend on your display/monitor and graphics hardware. In smaller and medium sizes/scales, the cursor size is set to it's 32x32 resolution, while in larger sizes/scales, the cursor size can be set to it's 48x48 or (in Win11) 64x64 resolutions. Setting a custom scale is possible via Custom scaling when you click the Scale box. Changing the cursor size itself can also be done in Accessibility > Mouse pointer and touch. This only seems to support up to the 48x48 resolution at the moment.

With these possibilities, Windows cursor files thus may contain multiple images in 32x32, 48x48, and 64x64 pixel sizes. RealWorld Cursor Editor allows you to comfortably create and edit cursors with multiple resolutions.

The cursor preview window will display all images of a cursor and allows you to select the active image format.

When creating a new cursor or a cursor from an image, the Canvas size configuration allows you to choose if you want to have your cursor's maximum resolution be the 32, 48, or 64 pixel sizes. Similarly, the Change size command allows you to change the cursor size to the 48x48 and 64x64 resolutions. If you are working with a multi-resolution cursor, options such as the arrow shape wizards will automatically apply to all the current resolutions.

It is possible to change the size of the already existing cursor ? For example, if it was created in 26x26 pixels , it is possible to alteralo 25x25 pixels or 27x27 ?

Is there a way to change the pointer size to 48x48 without changing the size of the taskbar?
