A game's cursor resource: a length-prefixed record name (such as CursorHand), a header declaring the picture's size (32x32 in the file seen) and a 32-bit BGRA raster, then a zero footer. Filestar extracts the picture as a PNG.
An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
