gentoo-xcursors

A high quality set of animated mouse cursors.

The original authors are unknown[1], 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.

Table of Contents

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.

preview gentoo preview gentoo blue preview gentoo silver

Install

Gentoo

emerge -a x11-themes/gentoo-xcursors

Other

Copy the contents of cursors/ into /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/cursors/ or ~/.icons/.

Configuration

See Gentoo Wiki: Cursor themes. The available sizes are 16, 24, 32, 48 and 64.

License

gentoo-xcursors is licensed under the MIT license. See LICENSE for details.

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.
