Can you give a bit more info on what is this for? Is this for a longer time where the user will be interacting normally with your application (e.g. your app has an "I'm on a projector make the cursor huge and red" mode, or is a presentation in a kiosk system that needs to look different), or is this just temporarily (e.g. while drawing out a selection rectangle for a screenshot of a subsection of the screen)?
For the former, you'll have to override methods on each individual kind of view. For the latter, you can just create a transparent, borderless window and give it a tracking area that sets your cursor.
I can give more detailed suggestions for these approaches, but there are many ways to do the same thing that work better or worse depending on what your needs are.
