# sqr-xcursor
|
|
|
|
a simple, complete, 32x32, square shaped x11 cursor theme.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Preview

|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
to build and install the cursor theme, `xcursorgen` is required.
|
|
you can then use the provided shell scripts:
|
|
|
|
1. create the cursor files from the png images:
|
|
```sh
|
|
# hotspot at pixel 15,15 (center), 50ms per animation frame
|
|
cd src && ./generate.sh 15 15 50
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. create links for some other cursors for completeness:
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd src && ./create-links.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. install the theme
|
|
- either system-wide:
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/icons/sqr-xcursor && sudo cp cursors $_ -r
|
|
```
|
|
- or just for the current user:
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p $XDG_DATA_HOME/icons/sqr-xcursor && cp cursors $_ -r
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. use the theme:
|
|
in regular desktop environments, selecting it in your settings should suffice.
|
|
|
|
without a desktop environment, setting a `default` in the `icons` directory
|
|
(whether system-wide or user-specific)
|
|
should work:
|
|
```sh
|
|
# system-wide:
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/icons/default && \
|
|
sudo printf "\n[Icon Theme]\nInherits=sqr-xcursor\n" >> $_/index.theme
|
|
|
|
# or user-only:
|
|
mkdir -p $XDG_DATA_HOME/icons/default && \
|
|
printf "\n[Icon Theme]\nInherits=sqr-xcursor\n" >> $_/index.theme
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **you will need to restart your xsession after this (log out and back in)**
|
|
|
|
if issues still arise, setting the cursor theme in your `.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini`
|
|
might also be required/help:
|
|
```ini
|
|
[Settings]
|
|
gtk-cursor-theme-name=sqr-xcursor
|
|
gtk-cursor-theme-size=32
|
|
```
