 You can switch to another cursor theme with an X resource:

 Xcursor.theme: whiteglass

 will select the other theme provided in current XFree86 sources.

 I'm very interested in getting some more cursors for XFree86 4.3; I keep
 hoping we'll find someone able to do a better job than me.  I've solicited
 many people without success to date...

How would I change the cursor theme on the fly, w/o restarting X? Preferably 
from within a program. I would like to add that option to KDE's kcontrol 
mouse module. And then, what do I have to check for to see if the installed 
XFree version supports those nice cursor themes?

Thanx in advance,
Fabian

It works! Much better than before with where it was red on black xterm.

Anything else besides whiteglass? Tried blueglass, yellowglass but didn't
worked. Is there a somewhere that explain this without getting the source
code?


Thanks,
Jeff.

 We've only got the two related semi translucent themes (redglass and
 whiteglass).  I'd like to see at least a couple more, especially one which
 used only two colors + transparent for each cursor so that older hardware
 could use themed cursors without being forced to use software cursors.

 It's easy enough to build a single cursor, it's just very tedious to build
 many related cursors and then scale them to a reasonable set of sizes.

Any painting or drawing program.

 I mean, what's the format in which the cursor are saved? how can we make ours?

The Xcursor library uses a custom format (.cur) for the cursor files.

XFree86 includes a tool (xcursorgen) that takes a set of .png files along
with a configuration (.cfg) file and generates .cur files.

Each .cur file contains a set of cursors at different sizes, each size can
include multiple images which will be used as an animation (the xcursorgen
manual doesn't mention that a delay in ms can be added at the end of the
.cfg entry for each image).  Use the existing redglass directory as an
example.

But would be nice if there's more choices than redglass and whiteglass.

Thanks for this great trick!
