Changing the Mouse Cursor

[CuppaCoffee]

Now before I start, I know how to change a mouse cursor.. The purpose of the title is dealing with what happens while it changes..

Say, when I enter a JButton, I'd want the mouse cursor to go from Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR to Cursor.HAND_CURSOR. The method I use is this.. to keep it brief:

JButton btnQuit = new JButton;

btnQuit.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));

That being the focus of the code.. When the mouse enters the area of the JButton, it switches to a hand cursor. But the transition is strange.. almost as if it's glitchy. The hand cursor would be, for a split second, in a different location than it's default image location for the cursor.. Like it'd be more to the top-left of the cursor image-space before it sets to its default position.

Is this normal? I'm wondering if there's a way to smooth the transition or maybe another method with.. clearer results.

Probably a matter of the two cursors' hot spot not being at the same coordinates within each cursor. If that's it, then I don't see any obvious workaround.
