Cursors by starcycle 4 comments

Thanks for the KDE instructions. I'd been using KDE only for a few months, a couple of years ago. I had no ideas what to do with it. Thanks anyway ! - Jun 25 2011

Thanks!

I tried to suppose when the cursors go wrong.

Case 1: When you do something as a super user or someone greater, your cursor and themes becomes default ones if you haven't changed your themes as 'GDM'.

Case 2: Some cursor theme might not work in some applications which requires some special cursors. But I haven't been in such a kind of situations before. If you meet some strange actions with my cursor, please tell me what application you used.

In the other cases, I'm sorry I don't know why. - Jan 21 2011

As I mentioned in some conversations above, this set includes some indistinct-files. But this set beeps on some events where default Ubuntu doesn't. It's good enough for me. Thanks! - Dec 29 2010

There's another cat theme, a soundset called TalkingCat. But it's for GNOME, sorry.

I usually use GNOME and Xfce. I don't know much about KDE.
KDE is much slower on my computer. - Nov 21 2010

TalkingCat

Yes, I wanted to make a funny soundset. My cat seems to dislike this theme though these are his voices. When the sound rings, he goes away. - Oct 29 2010

I use Ubuntu as main OS now, and sometimes test some distibutions on VirtualBox. There I experienced that a certain sound rings on a certain event in one distribution, but not on the other distro, though both of them use GNOME. It's hard to install and test a huge numbers of distros, so I made a sound files list, as mentioned in a previous questions, omit some suspicious files names from it, then work on the rest. Window-move didn't seem to be so suspicious, that's the reason.

All I hope is that this sound rings when it meet an unknown distribution.

Sorry for the useless answer, and loose English. - Oct 26 2010

Thanks. My sound files names just came from the other soundsets. I downloaded more than half of the soundsets here, unarchived them and made a list of files. - Oct 25 2010

It's complicated.

Each cursors need '.png' and '.in' files. All the pngs are, in my case, 32x32 pixels. '.in' files are plain texts, which contains pixel value, hot spot-x, hot spot-y and png's filename in one line, like '32 1 1 circle.png'. If you want to make animations, numbers of the lines depend on the animation frames. It's like '32 12 1 left_ptr_watch1.png 60', '32 12 1 left_ptr_watch2.png 60', and so on. Value after the png-filename is animation speed in, maybe, miliseconds. You have to make them this way for every cursors. Then put them all in 'YourCursorName/cursors' directory. And cd to its directory and run xcursorgen, like 'xcursorgen bd_double_arrow.in bd_double_arrow'. After that, make symbolic links from them.

I put xcursorgen and links steps into one shellscript. All the needed cursors and links' names are written inside.
Look at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/518367/

Also, don't forget to put the 'index.theme' in 'YourCursorName' directory. - Oct 22 2010

Thanks!
I play guitars. I'm not in a band now, too, but I used to. I like to compose music, I have 400 or more songs written, though including a lot of garbages. Jeff Beck is my favorite. Here in Japan, Jeff is so famous, I don't know why. I also like Bob Dylan, Hank Williams (sr.), Booker T., Otis Redding, Django Reinhardt and many others. I love them all. - Sep 02 2010
