How do I set a custom cursor when running a spritekit OSX application?

So I want to use a custom cursor in my spritekit game. I was only able to get it to work by adding this to my first scene:

override func mouseEntered(theEvent: NSEvent) {
    let myCursor: NSCursor = NSCursor(image: NSImage(named: "cursor")!, hotSpot: NSPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5))
    self.view?.addCursorRect(self.frame, cursor: myCursor)
}

However, this doesn't change the cursor to my custom one until I double-clicked and moved the mouse. I really want the new cursor to be displayed as soon as the application starts. Any ideas? Adding cursor to ApplicationDidFinishLaunching doesn't work.

This worked for me by putting your code in the didMoveToView help kit:



override func didMoveToView(view: SKView) {
    super.didMoveToView(view)

    // Show custom mouse cursor
    let myCursor: NSCursor = NSCursor(image: NSImage(named: "cursor")!, hotSpot: NSPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.5))
    self.view!.addCursorRect(self.frame, cursor: myCursor)
}
