Biga

They are entirely built with Inkscape. They are an attractive pointers of 64 pixels, for people who like the colors in pointers. and has some animations. Cursors are looking well in both dark and clear backgrounds. I did it, for people who want to have the cursor always visible. Easy to see!

I've noticed that it has become a very popular topic, so I decided to make some changes that some friends have suggested. I will appreciate any comments to improve this cursor theme.

This X11 mouse theme was of 52 pixels and now is 64 pixels.

It's almost flat, because only has shadow's blur and hasn't any degradated image.

It has always worked fine in Gnome, and now I've added some symlinks to Steam, and everything needed for KDE, so now this one works great in these three Desktop Environments.

I have tested it in KDE with Kwin, Gnome 2.x, Gnome 3.x, Unity and it works great.
I would change some things so you can expect updates. If you find any errors, please let me know in the comments section.

2013 Jul v1.2- Cursors are white fill and black stroke. The background is a larger than the previous. The hand2 cursor was changed.

Jun 2013 v1.0- I made a drastic change with this X11 cursor theme. I removed all the degraded to convert it totally minimalist. I changed some animations. Now it is easier to see. I hope you like it.
