      Description

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      There doesn't seem to be any way to provide retina-quality images for custom cursors on Mac retina systems. There should probably be an additional Toolkit.createCustomCursor() method that takes a scale parameter or size parameters, so the image size can differ from the nominal cursor size (be double sized on retina).


      JUSTIFICATION :
      Custom cursors on Mac retina systems are not as smooth as they could be.
