Can't change cursor bitmap

I'm trying to change the cursor bitmap with no luck.
in main.cs which resides in myGame/modules/Game folder I wrote the following code:
cursor image file resides here: myGame/modules/Game/assets/images
Am I missing something?

new GuiCursor(DefaultCursor)
{
hotSpot = "1 1";
renderOffset = "0 0";
bitmapName = "./assets/images/defaultCursor.png";
};
canvas.setCursor(DefaultCursor);cursor image file resides here: myGame/modules/Game/assets/images

Since the changes I have made basically interrupt Windows messages, I don't expect it works on OSX. I assume that the same changes would need to be made in the OSX-specific code which catches the platform events.
In theory, you could even keep the same variable and simply copy the verification over to the OSX code; the foundation is there.

I couldn't find the corresponding code for osx but the closest that I came to is this code in osxInput.mm, I don't know what to do next though, I hope someone sees this and fixes it.//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Not yet implemented. Will resolve in the next platform update
void Input::pushCursor(S32 cursorID)
{
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Not yet implemented. Will resolve in the next platform update
void Input::popCursor()
{
}
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Not yet implemented. Will resolve in the next platform update
void Input::refreshCursor()
{
}

@ChrisKnapp - Torque 2D MIT is not currently in active development. You will have to implement any features you want.
