ComixCursors

The original Comix Cursors.

X11 mouse theme with a comics feeling.
Package comes with 50 different mouse themes for X11.
6 colors (black, blue, green, orange, red and white)
4 different sizes (small, regular, large and huge)
2 different weights (slim and normal)
..
and one for christmas and one with ghost


Any bug report or improvement idea is very welcome. See the "how to install" link below for installation instructions on KDE. Else extract the archive in ~/.icons/ .
With the sources download below you can configure and build your own set of cursors regarding transparency, outline- fill- and shadow-color, the size and various other options. See the scripts and README included. Note that you *must* have inkscape and ImageMagick installed to make use of it.

The cursors are named according to the freedesktop.org cursor naming convention, the rest is linked. I hope nothing is missing. Additional cursors for mozilla/firefox are availlable.
Want left-handed cursors? Take the "-LH" downloads below. If you don't like the slight transparency, download the opaque versions below.
The RPMs install the cursors globally to /usr/share/icons.

Good news: if you experience the cursor shadow looking strange, e.g. with the christmas theme, or the whole cursor appear gray when it's supposed to be white - and you have an nVidia graphics-card - disable hardware cursor rendering:
In the xorg.conf file in the device section insert the HWCursor line below:

Section "Device"
Driver "nvidia"
...
Option "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection

"Vast" versions for visually impaired can be downloaded here: http://www.limitland.de/downloads.html . Left-handed versions will follow on request. There are links for windows ports by firstfooter, teft and Jus as well.

Have fun.
