Perhaps to solve the complaints about not standing out, without disrupting the material design aesthetic, why not put a drop shadow under the light themes, and a backlighting (basically just a white-colored drop shadow) under the dark themes?

10 I LOVE these! They're so 'happy-looking', except for the scroll and crossbones which is 'angry-looking', and exactly how it should look! I think this is a great set that will be my default from here on!

for HiDPI already available 64x64 size. Initial size 32x32, if scale to 48x48 cursors will be blured and quality deteriorate

7 The dark ones need a white border around them so they're visible over dark backgrounds.

it's strange. And this not seen on gnome-tweak-tool?
or set on dconf-editor

I see it in the gnome tools, actually I am setting the new cursor exactly in the tool and the cursor isn't changing, even after restart or logout.

Maybe other 3-d party cursors not worked too? (i mean installed dorm pling)

try set config on gsettings (dconf-editor):
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme material_cursors
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 32

Also maybe XSettings (update-alternatives) interferes set right cursor theme...

I like the concept, but as others have noted, a contrasting color is needed so the dark cursors don't get lost in the background.

3 Sorry, not clearly visible when moved across the screen... problems blending in and getting lost.

10 10 Very refreshing. Any chance to add some kind of outline, because sometimes cursor blends with background.
