However at the time I saw it discussed by people using kde and not knowing much on the topic assumed it was a kde specific thing.(that perhaps came with the newest version of kde) Surfing kde-look.org I saw that they had mouse cursor themes. Curious I looked and saw that the one I looked at noted where to change it in the .Xdefaults file. But I didn't see mention of where to stick the theme beyond that. > For those of you running the 4.2.99.4 xfree86 and have dislike for the > transparent white cursor, cd over to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default > and change the index.theme contests to replace whiteglass to default > (or redglass if you're adventurous.) I've got the solid black arrow and I'm using XFree86 4.2.1-r2. I didn't see a 4.2.99.4 even masked in portage tho I have seen 4.3 but leaving it alone til it's unmasked. Will thease cursor themes work with the version of X I have or it's simply the later ones that are compatable? Btw if your wondering which cursor thing I thought was cute it was this one(though they don't seem to have many themes yet): http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5376 I was also wondering on how to create my own if indeed I can use them. > I guess you want to expand the tar.gz for the cursor next to this > default directory, i.e. in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons and then change > the default/index.theme file. > Hope this helps.. Thanks it does to some extent. I know where to go to deal with things when I do have the correct xfree version later. Right now I did check this version and there is no icons directory. -- Susie VE7 HFA [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://arienadean.tripod.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "The heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others." - The Wizard of Oz -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
