Hello seaside,
... This is quite perfect!
I was wondering why twice 'none.xbm'... Thinking it was a mistake, I first tried just with one: cursor is a simple cross :wink:, twice: no cursor is displayed: great!

Cordialement.

@seaside

Thanks for confirming that xbm cursors still work.
I first came across them years ago when I was messing about with
RedHat but thought it was a thing of the past.

Now that I know and the xbm is a simple format, I'm gonna download and
maybe even make a whole bunch of them.

Hello,
I first came across them years ago when I was messing about with
RedHat but thought it was a thing of the past.
I was used to put hidden xbm pictures (such as ".jwm-bClose.xbm", etc.) in /root/ which were taken into account by jwm and overrode default buttons of the applications windows... but this is unfortunately "a thing of the past" too! :cry:
... Unless someone has got opposite information?

Cordialement.
