In b4j the cursor is set with

.MouseCursor = fx.cursors.xxxx

Can't remember if you can add an image to use

Example

Sub Process_Globals
Private fx As JFX
Private MainForm As Form
Dim img As Image
Dim b As Button
End Sub
Sub AppStart (Form1 As Form, Args() As String)
MainForm = Form1
'MainForm.RootPane.LoadLayout("Layout1") 'Load the layout file.
MainForm.Show
b.Initialize("")
b.Text = "Dummy"
MainForm.RootPane.AddNode(b,10,10,100,20)
img.Initialize("C:\temp","icontest.png")
imageCursor(b, img)
End Sub

Sub imageCursor(n As JavaObject,im As Image)
Dim icur As JavaObject
icur.InitializeNewInstance("javafx.scene.ImageCursor",Array(im,im.Width/2,im.Height/2))
n.RunMethod("setCursor",Array(icur))
End Sub

Sub asJO(o As JavaObject) As JavaObject
Return o
End Sub

The im.width/2 & im.height/2 just sets the position of the hotspot, in this case, to the centre of the image.

Daestrum, your method works very well even with animated gifs, I attached a simple example.
