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

It's related to the make version. See comments above. I want to fix it for older versions of make, but I've got no time to do it for now....

Hi, can you add a Working in back ground cursor?

Hi! This theme is wonderful. But there is a cursor missing.

I often use phoenix (I think this applies to mozilla, too).

When a page get's loaded, there is a "working but responsive" cursor, a mix of the standard pointer and a small stopwatch right below.

This one is missing in your set.

Greets,

Done, hopefully now it will work. The cursor was there, it's just that there was a missing symlink... (mozilla doesn't use a standard X11 icon for that purpose)

Could you please update this theme and recategorize it under "X11 Mouse Themes"?

That would really be appreciated.

I moved the theme to the place it belongs, but as I said I have really no time to update it right now. My intention was not to create a full set at the beginning. Those who downloaded the first single cursor will remember it perfectly.

I could maybe take a weekend to do a couple of fixes, but I'm pretty busy right now. Anyway, the cursor set is almost complete.

There will be always tools that use their own cursors, but that's not my fault, I can't find all of them easily. At some point they'll start hopefully using the correct standard cursors from XFree, so one doesn't have to symlink all those hashes.

The cursors are there. It's just the links that are missing.

Hmmm, perhaps you could give us a point, how we get the correct hash. Symlinking is no problem at all.

You just need to set the environment variable XCURSOR_DISCOVER.

I just do "export XCURSOR_DISCOVER=true", but I think you can set it to whatever you want. (Thanks to Fredrik for this hint ;-)

Once you do that, run the application from the terminal, and you'll see all the icons/hashes that are created.

make install does't work for me.
i do the cursors generation by hand
>cd sources
>for file in ; do if [ -d $file ]; then xcursorgen $file/${file}.conf ../cursors/${file}; fi; done
>for file in .conf; do xcursorgen ${file} ../cursors/${file%%.conf}; done
>cd ..
>make install
that's all

I know about this problem. The Makefile uses the function $(eval ...) , which I thought it was an old feature, but was implemented only recently. One needs to upgrade to version 3.80 to support it.

The advantage to use Makefiles is that it needs to regenerate only those cursors that were changed, not the whole set. And $(eval ) is a great function to have a dynamic Makefile that is automatically updated everytime one adds cursors to the set.

I was thinking to include something similar to what you mentioned in the makefile for those using Makefile v.<3.80, but I don't know how to test the Makefile version inside it. Any hints?

Missing cursors

First off, great cursor theme! I'm planning on making some different colour versions of this, and I'll post them as soon as I've finished!

Now I've found some missing cursors. First off is the kill cursor, which is completely missing from the set! Next, the symlinks for Qt/KDE seem to be messed up, because the wrong cursors are shown when resizing windows by their sides/top/bottom. In Gtk apps I get the left_side, right_side etc. cursors, but in Qt/KDE I get the h_doublearrow and v_doublearrow. That might be deliberate, but you really should keeps things standard, as it's confusing having different cursors between widget sets!

Thanks, I'll be waiting for your version to try it. Mmmm... I'm now thinking that I should relicense it properly as GPL :-)

> Now I've found some missing cursors. First off > is the kill cursor, which is completely missing

The kill cursor is there. It's called "draped_box" which is the standard cursor. (type xkill, you'll get it). Oh I see, I think you refer to pirate... mmmmm... trouble. I was never able to draw a proper skull ;-) I'll think of it for the weekend.

> from the set! Next, the symlinks for Qt/KDE

The symlinks are correct, but Qt uses a nonstandard cursor set. They use the same cursor for opposing sides, so they must be symmetric, and one cannot use the standard ones, otherwise they look wrong. (This is what happenned in the early versions of this set).

The same thing happens for the diagonals: opposite diagonals must have the same cursor for QT apps, which is why I have fd_double_arrow & bd_double_arrow.

There's no much to do about it right now.

Do you think it would be more reasonable to have v_double_arrow and h_double_arrow as arrows pointing out (not in)? I've thought of that, but not too sure about the most proper solution.

I forgot to mention that all the apps actually use v_double_arrow and h_double_arrow, as far as you run them under kde, since all use kwin as window manager, so there's consistency between the widget sets.

Under Gnome though, they'll use the standard set (left, right, top, bottom, top-left...)

Yers, I noticed that after I had a closer look - it is GNOME vs KDE, not just Gtk vs Qt ;)

I should release the yellow versions either this evening or tomorrow :) It's not too hard just opening the SVGs and changing the colours, and I changed the Makefile so it'll install properly :)

That's a shame about Qt cursors. I suppose arrows facing in is most intuitive, because the normal resizing ones (in GNOME) face in as well. Nevermind.

As for kill... why do I not get the reddot kill cursor? I still get the X skull and cruss bones! And I might alter that one - I like my skulls ;)

The worst part are the animations. In order to save space I don't keep the svg's for every position, so you'll need to recreate those png's and of course, add the shadows one by one in gimp.

I look forward to see that Makefile... :-)

Yes, at first I just redid the red (now yellow) dots in the animated pictures, but then on some cursors I also wanted to redo the look of the arrow/circle, so I've been moving the little dot around in Sodipodi, then exporting to a PNG. It doesn't take too long once I get into it :)

What must be possible, and would be very cool, would be to make a script that automatically creates all of the PNGs from a single SVG, and can modify colours/fill styles. SVGs are smply XML files, so you could in theory do it, though it's more work than I can be bothered with. It would let you just regenerate your cursors in any colour combination though :D

SVG

It's not that simple. SVG is a format that is easy to change, and I think sodipodi allows exporting to png from command line. But the difficult part is adding the shadow automatically, which I don't think it's possible in SVG.

If you modify the cursors don't forget to change the hot-spot point in the config files also.
