Solved X default cursor customization

Greetings,

For many years now I have been using X's default cursor. Basically X pulls this cursor from somewhere when you don't have selected theme for display or if you don't have any themes installed.

Some programs can do cool stuff with it like changing its color when you want it to:

But I am curious if I can scale it? I would really want to increase its size somehow. Anybody knows some tricks/hacks?

Thank you in advance.

EDIT:
Problem is solved waay sooner than I expected. See HERE. There are bitmaps in /usr/local/include/X11/bitmaps and they have clean c-like syntax that anyone can change.

You can also change its border and background colors with xsetroot like this:
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -fg white -bg black
