Default Image Transparencies.....?

Hi guys,

I'm in the middle of making a cursor to go with my windows theme, but I'm having trouble with making the background transparent. So the cursor's there, but there is a white square around it, do you know of any way to get rid of it? I heard of something about 'alpha channels' or something but I can't get any other information other than what they are, I need to know how to actually use them lol!

I'm using CursorXP trial and I only have MSPaint, ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5.5 and GIMP 2 as graphics software (can't afford PhotoShop!)

Will be grateful for any help....

Stu
