Well, you should, I'm just wondering why did it change here on my system? They are not supposed to change before X restart.

I believe there is a way to change them without restarting X. I just don't know what it is, and never bothered finding out because restarting X is so simple and I rarely change cursors.

It would make deciding which one to use faster though.

Hello Pizzasgood,
Quote:
Somebody recently asked if it was hard to change cursor themes in Linux. Not at all.

That's ok... Not hard to change... But please, how to edit, modify (and even create!) these pictures? I tried with mtpaint, or with gimp: in vain!
... This appears to be much more difficult! Crying or Very sad
Thank you.
Regards.

Xorg uses its own file format for them - see 'man 3 Xcursor'
It can be converted into a sequence of PNGs by xcur2png tool, and converted back by xcursorgen tool.
The former should be in Puppy default install: http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01010 ; the latter is a part of Xorg.

There also exists a GIMP plugin, from the author of xcur2png.

As for mtPaint, native support for X cursors will have to wait till version 4.00 when proper handling of animated and multipage images will be implemented.

I am working with improved mouse theming for pcur/DuDE, and wonder if anyone can point me to some nice and SMALL themes. I have looked at the pizzasgoods package in the main post, and it offer some very cool themes...... But, I want some smaller alternatives to include into Stardust.


Thanks
Sigmund

Dir puppians,

This is what I use. The archive is small - some 14k - but expands to about 240k. It is Mac style and has the animated round rainbow wait feature. Just copy it into /root/.icons and symlink it to "default".

With kind regards,
vovchik
