Xcursor is configurable via environment variables and X resources. It should probably have a dot file too, just to keep up with other Unix utilities. (resource/environment variable): type... Xcursor.core/XCURSOR_CORE bool Whether to use core cursors exclusively, overriding any available Render extension capability. Xcursor.size/XCURSOR_SIZE int Nominal size for cursors. Themed cursors can have multiple sizes for each cursor, Xcursor picks the size closest to this size from those available. If Xcursor adds SVG support, this size will be used to scale the SVG objects. Xft.dpi int If Xcursor.size isn't set, then this value is used to compute the nominal size = dpi * 16 / 72 Xcursor.theme/XCURSOR_THEME string Name of theme. Xcursor uses the freedesktop.org icon theme specification to locate cursor files; cursors live in one of the icon directories in a cursors subdirectory. Xcursor looks in the standard icon directories, along with /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons. It also parses the index.theme file to follow Inherits values. If no theme is set, Xcursor uses 'default' Xcursor.dither/XCURSOR_DITHER threshold/median/ordered/diffuse Dithering algorithm when creating core cursors. Xcursor transforms an ARGB cursor into a two color cursor with one of these algorithms (yes, only ordered and diffuse are really dithers). The default is ordered, which is a 2x2 ordered dither. Xcursor.theme_core/XCURSOR_THEME_CORE If the server doesn't support ARGB cursors, this value controls whether Xcursor goes ahead and themes core cursors using the core cursor requests. _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
