I posted this last year. Here are three different cursor sizes; 32,
24, and 16 pixels wide:

-------tri32.xbm----------------------------------
#define tri32_width 32
#define tri32_height 32
static char tri32_bits[] = {
   0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0x7f, 0xfe, 0xff, 0xff, 0x3f, 0xfe, 0xff, 0xff, 0x3f,
   0xfc, 0xff, 0xff, 0x1f, 0xfc, 0xff, 0xff, 0x1f, 0xf8, 0xff, 0xff, 0x0f,
   0xf8, 0xff, 0xff, 0x0f, 0xf0, 0xff, 0xff, 0x07, 0xe0, 0xff, 0xff, 0x03,
   0xe0, 0xff, 0xff, 0x03, 0xc0, 0xff, 0xff, 0x01, 0xc0, 0xff, 0xff, 0x01,
   0x80, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00, 0x00, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00, 0x00, 0xff, 0x7f, 0x00,

   0x00, 0xf0, 0x07, 0x00, 0x00, 0xe0, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0xe0, 0x03, 0x00,
   0x00, 0xc0, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0xc0, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x80, 0x00, 0x00,
   0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
   0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};

-------tri24.xbm----------------------------------
#define tri24_width 24
#define tri24_height 24
static char tri24_bits[] = {
   0xff, 0xff, 0x7f, 0xfe, 0xff, 0x3f, 0xfe, 0xff, 0x3f, 0xfc, 0xff, 0x1f,
   0xfc, 0xff, 0x1f, 0xf8, 0xff, 0x0f, 0xf8, 0xff, 0x0f, 0xf0, 0xff, 0x07,
   0xe0, 0xff, 0x03, 0xe0, 0xff, 0x03, 0xc0, 0xff, 0x01, 0xc0, 0xff, 0x01,

--------------------------------------------------

-------tri16.xbm----------------------------------
#define tri16_width 16
#define tri16_height 16
static char tri16_bits[] = {
   0xff, 0x7f, 0xfe, 0x3f, 0xfe, 0x3f, 0xfc, 0x1f, 0xfc, 0x1f, 0xf8, 0x0f,
   0xf8, 0x0f, 0xf0, 0x07, 0xe0, 0x03, 0xe0, 0x03, 0xc0, 0x01, 0xc0, 0x01,
   0x80, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
--------------------------------------------------

The color I liked best was "HotPink1", or #FF69B4; the command to use is:

xsetroot -cursor tri16.xbm tri16.xbm -fg '#FF69B4'

Enjoy!
