Describe the bug
When I change my cursor size in Windows and use ScreenToGif to record, the cursor size in the recording is the default size and not the custom size I set it to.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Change the cursor size in Windows settings.
  2. Open ScreenToGif and start a new recording.
  3. In the recording, observe that the cursor size is the default size and not the custom size.

Expected behavior
I expected the cursor size in the ScreenToGif recording to reflect the custom cursor size I set in Windows settings.
The following video is recorded in a different software to show the expected behaviour.

I tried this, but with DirectX my mouse doesn't appear at all. :-(
