Currently Bluecurve have two sets of icons: normal (black) and inverse
(white). Probably it would be a good idea to keep using two sets (in
fact there are 4 sets, the two are duplicate for left hand users, but
this is just mirroring).
A cursor theme has a relatively small number of images, so the quantity
is not the main problem, the main problem is optimizing the images for
small size display.
And my two cents: usually the mouse cursor is shown over a light
background, so I think a dark theme make sense as the default.
