Probably not recommended by the experts, but this is how I got a nice 'Vista look' Aero Cursor theme.
Download this cursor theme: Aero Mouse Extra Large with Drop Shadow
From:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ ... tent=67833
Extract: aero-extra-large-drop.tar.gz to a folder such as Documents or Downloads.
Copy the extracted aero-extra-large-drop folder to : /usr/share/icons ensuring that you have first opened /usr/share/icons as root (Tools, Open Current Folder as Root, in PCManFM).
Create a hidden file in your home folder ~/.Xresources.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xresources
Note: ~/.Xdefaults is deprecated, so use ~/.Xresources instead.
I have included font settings in this as well, for those that need to configure fonts.
! Xft settings ---------------------------------------------------------------
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xcursor.theme:aero-extra-large-drop
Logout and Login for the settings to take effect.
Enjoy.
