Submitted: Jan 28 2003
Updated: Oct 15 2003

Description:

Red dot cursor is just that: a cursor theme with red dots :)

Now designed to work with the upcoming KDE 3.2!

The sources and some docs are included in the package so you can use it to create your own theme.

========================
Thanks to fredrikh who has provided the necessary information to complete this set for KDE.

Changelog:

15/10/2003:
* The upcoming KDE 3.2 includes a new easy install system for cursors.

The file was modified accordingly to follow this new standard. Just go to kcontrol->Peripherals->Mouse->Cursor Theme->Install New Theme... and select the file you just downloaded.

Just that simple!

14/03/2003:
* Changed install directory to ~/.icons/reddot. Now it's much cleaner

Avoiding Qt cursors

by Deciare on: Jan 29 2003

Deciare

I don't know how to replace the hand and busy-arrow-wristwatch cursors, but to use XCursor for window resize arrows (and possibly more?), you need to (re)compile Qt from source.

#define QT_USE_APPROXIMATE_CURSORS

in $QTDIR/src/kernel/qcursor_x11.cpp and then configure and make as usual.

It seems that one needs to patch qt-copy in order to get the correct xcursors. I don't think this patch was committed in cvs HEAD though... See:

I'll try to have a look at it tomorrow.

Some symlinks are necessary so that XFree finds QT's icons.

Symlinks

The trouble we go through for a little extra eye candy... Truly admirable perseverance. ;) At least the symlinks' filenames are easy to find.

ln -s cross crosshair
ln -s /usr/share/icons/redglass/cursors/hand2 hand1

The remaining problem is Konqueror's busy-arrow-wristwatch cursor, which isn't in Qt, but is a hardcoded pixmap in kdelibs/kdeui/kcursor.cpp .

In addition to making the hand1 symlink noted in my previous post, you also need to put a line in $KDEHOME/share/config/kdeglobals under the [General] section that says

handCursorStyle=none

(or anything else other than "Windows")

That should fix KCursor's insistence on using its own hand cursor.

You can set whatever size/theme you want, doing something like this just before running X:

export XCURSOR_THEME="whiteglass"
export XCURSOR_SIZE=16

In order to create themes... you'll have to "man xcursorgen" for the moment, but I'm considering to add a pdf file with instructions soon.

But I liked your old designs better. The old xterm cursor looked to me like a cloth bookmark fused into a column of clear plastic. Very distinctive style.

The old left_ptr shared the same cloth-in-plastic style, which made the theme feel more unified.

I liked the clear plastic effect a lot, please consider making it available again. :)

I'm afraid that I don't have the previous icon sources. I don't keep backups of older versions. I found that with some backgrounds the left_ptr icon wasn't easy to be seen and was abit blurry, so I thought I should change it.

Do you have the sources of the previous set? It's easy to regenerate the cursors

Anyway, now the whole set is more uniform.

I think that what developers should do is to modify the themes page in control center to suport importing of windows themes now that XFree support color & animation cursors. It would bring a lot of nice themes that u could just install in a second !

If all the cursors of w$ use standard names for equivalent cursors, then it's probably easy to do a script to do so, and not to say, a gui for it later on.

Oh, man! Trust me, you _ARE_ an artist. Your icons are excellent! I think, that is the best content I ever downloaded from kde-look.org. Really.

Only one thing: I think, the main pointer would be really nicer, if you could do a little animation in it - like the animation of XP's default pointer :) Like the little ball moving around the angle of the cursor...

Anyway, it's just a little proposal, your cursors are great.

I'm glad you liked the cursors.

I was thinking myself to put some animation on the default cursor (left_ptr), but I'm not sure if I should:
it takes quite a long time to draw all those icons, and I think everyone would get tired of the "moving thingy" after half an hour. And I'm not quite sure about the performance of X redrawing all the time...

Err.... as far as I know there is no animation in the arrow cursor of XP, is there any really?

Ya, it's moving :)

May be, it is not the DEFAULT arrow cursor of XP, but there is one which is moving (the tile is amazingly moving left to right), and I can say it is not boring at all :)
