*FOLLOW AT YOUR OWN RISK*
If you pay attention and only edit these files properly there should be no issues whatsoever. IF you made the cursor folder and backed up the default images as i said then all should be good. If you choose to tinker with other files in other folders within the Spiral Knights directory, THATS ON YOU.

Steps:
1. Install Paint.net @ http://www.getpaint.net/download.html
2. Go to your Spiral Knights Directory
3. Go into rsrc, then open the ui folder
4. Copy 'Cursor" and paste it on your desktop or where you'd like to keep it.
5. Now go back in the sk rsrc ui cursor folder and Choose the cursor you'd like to edit. Right-Click, then open the image using the paint.net program.

6. Either use the paint tool to recolor the pre-existing image, or find an image online that you'd like to use. for the 32x32 images use images that are no larger than 40x40 for optimal aesthetics. 

for 64x64 cursor don't choose an image larger than 80x80 for optimal aesthetics.
IF the image dimensions are larger than the original, don't expand canvas simply shrink the image to fit the pre-existing one.
The wiki is a good source for SK related icons.

7. After you edit the image, save it over the file in the cursor folder within the SK directory.

8. Reboot SK if it was open during the edit process as the change won't show until the next launch. IF it was closed during editing then launch SK and test out the new mod you did and see if you like it. The options are pretty much endless!

*EDITS*
(Things i forgot to mention in the video)
If you'd like your paint tool to be more accurate, Hold ctrl + and scroll mouse up to zoom in the image, then at the top reduce the blue bar to zero. Allowing your paint tool to be more accurate in terms of pixel per pixel filling. 

IF you'd like to change the orientation of an image in terms of flipping it (not rotating it) go to the very top toolbar in paint.net , click image, then flip horizontal or vertical depending on the axis you want to flip it on. I flipped my Fang of Vog horizontally after the video and Arcana before the video. I should have done the flip during the video but even though i mentioned it i got sidetracked and forgot to show it LOL.

Post any questions you have and i'll do my best to answer! 
P.S. i flipped the FoV cursor horizontally so it points to the top left, and i shrunk the FoV and arcana cursor, and enlarged my blue/red pointer within the 64x64 dimension so im able to see it and aim better.
