http://freshmeat.net/projects/sd2xc/ this is a program to convert CursorXP themes to xfree themes. install imagemagick, (perl module also) download themes from deskmod.com or wincustomize.com for cursorxp. extract the files from the theme file to a folder, put the downloaded file in the same folder. run it. then there is a theme folder in this folder and you can rename that to the theme name, and copy it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons and then change the file in the default folder there to the name of your theme -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
