We use CGDisplayHideCursor() to ensure the user only see the enhanced version.  While this works for 90%+ of the cases, when the user is switching applications or hovering the dock, CGDisplayHideCursor() has no effect

I sell a similar product, Pointer Noodge <http://pfiddlesoft.com/pfiddles/>. I chose to deal with the issue by leaving the cursor visible. I don't know of any solution.

Another similar product, PinPoint (on the Mac App Store), does the same thing. Since it's on the Mac App Store, it presumably does not use the Accessibility API.
