A high quality set of animated mouse cursors.

The original authors are unknownfootnote:[If you are one of the authors, please
get in touch so that you can be properly attributed.], the source of the initial
commit is the file `gentoo-cursors-tad-0.3.1.tar.bz2` from the Gentoo
mirrors. If you have the source files used to generate the cursors, please get
in touch.

== Previews

The conversion from X11 cursor to PNG I've used is a bit lossy. In reality the
cursors look better than in the pictures.

=== Reporting bugs or suggesting enhancements

Before reporting a bug, please
https://schlomp.space/tastytea/{project}/issues[perform a search] to see if the
problem has already been reported. If it has, add a comment to the existing
issue or use reaction-emojis instead of opening a new one. Same for
enhancements.

You can also contact me via mailto:{contact-email}[e-mail] if you don't want to
open an account.

=== Pull requests

Please use the same color theme as the rest of the cursors. If you add or modify
a cursor or alias, please do so in all variants.

You can also send me your patches via mailto:{contact-email}[e-mail], ideally
using link:{uri-git-format-patch}[git format-patch] or
link:{uri-git-send-email}[git send-email].

== To do

=== (Re-)create source files

Since we don't have the sources, creating new cursors or modifying them is not
gonna be easy. Possible solutions are to (semi-automatically?) create SVGs from
the X11 cursors, start from scratch, or work directly with the X11 cursors.
Ideas are welcome.

=== Prettier preview

The script used for preview generation does not yield the best results. If you
know how to generate them without loosing quality, please let us know.
