| Question: | Tutorial on making X11 mouse themes.
See below.
| |
| | Answer: | There is a GIMP plugin that can handle X11 mouse cursors. You can install it along with some other plugins in the package gimp-plugin-registry, or alternatively get it from gimp-stuff. 32bit: http://gimpstuff.org/content/show.php/X11+Mouse+Cursor+%28XMC%29+plug-in?content=94503 64bit: http://gimpstuff.org/content/show.php/X11+Mouse+Cursor+%28XMC%29+%28amd64%29?content=99618
To get the GIMP plugin from the repos you can run:
sudo apt-get install gimp-plugin-registry
Then copy the default theme. Make a cursor. You can make one from scratch in GIMP, or open an image and adjust it. Then save it and tweak the settings (x/y hotspot and delay). Do this for each image/cursor you want.
Hints: You can convert Windows cursors, too, if you have one you really want.
To convert .cur files to .png, you can install imagemagick.
run:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
then:
convert file.cur file.png
Of course, make sure you are using the right file name/path.
Good luck!
