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

...improving the directory structure!
...taking my proposal for a name of the cursors, I feel honored ;)
...YOUR GREAT WORK! Looks like now (as the left_ptr_warch works in Mozilla, which is even animated!!!) the cursor theme is perfect.

Bye.

this is probably the best cursor theme so far for X11....and it was working great for me, until recently. i dunno if running galeon did it or not, but suddenly the symlinks for mozilla are not working. i've reinstalled the cursor set, but no luck. could someone w/ a working default reddot cursor set upload or send me just the theme w/out the sources??

It seems to work here for mozilla, but I can't test galeon, since I have almost nothing installed from gnome, but for the few apps that I have installed it seems to work.

What you can actually do is, open a terminal, and type:

export XCURSOR_DISCOVER=true

Then in the same terminal, run galeon. It will (should) show all the numbers (hashes) that are being used for the cursors. You'll see the cursor, and a number. You only need to symlink that number to the correct cursor.

doh! i'm kickin' myself for not seeing this earlier. you may be interested in knowing the mistake i made. the cursors are installed in $HOME/.icons/ but after a while, i moved the cursor folder to /usr/share/icons/ and changed systemwide default index.theme to inherit reddot. the problem, is that moving the cursor folder breaks the symlinks which point specifically to the folder the theme is installed to originally. could the installation be changed to avoid this? i would think so, because it doesn't happen w/ other cursor sets i've installed (except yellowdot).
anyway, thanks for the great cursors. :)

That's probably because the symlinks have an absolute (not relative) path. I'll have a look at it. Anyway, I wouldn't like to update the package just for that. I don't want to force people to download anything when there're no actual changes...

I must thank you for this doc...

The structure of your cursor package is wonderful (with makefile and sources... that's great, man :) )...
thank you!

Static text cursor?

Let me first say that I really like
the red dot cursor theme.
It's my standard theme.

But there's one thing I find irritating:
The fact that the text cursor (the one
shaped like this: ][ ) is
animated. When I type a text
(e.g. in kmail) the mouse cursor is not
in the centre of my vision. Then the
animation goes off (the little red dot
moving from left to right). I find this very
distracting. Human perception is very
sensitive to motion. I think it's perfectkly
ok to have animation when the cursor
is the focus of attention anyway (e.g.
when it indicates that the app is busy
or when you're resizing a window).
But when it's not I think it should be
static.

What do you think? Would it be possible
to provide a version with a static text
cursor? I'd be the first to install it. ;-)

Cheers,
cmbofh.

Mmmm... not sure, I know what you mean... but some people seem to like it.

Why don't you remove the dot? Just open the svg icon, open in sodipodi, click on the dot, and remove it,... it's very easy to change the icons.

Great theme. I was wondering though if it could be possible to include a version without the shadows.

I know shadows might be aesthetically appealing, but for people with less than perfect vision, it causes additional eye strain.

Thanks for your theme :)
