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


Version 0.7 is a maintenance release. Ben did a great job cleaning up the sources, straightening and optimizing the build process. Also the licence changed back to GPL.

The cursors are named according to the freedesktop.org cursor naming convention, compatibility and hash cursor names are linked. In addition to the original cursor pack left-handed and opaque versions are still available here.

Please read the README and INSTALL files provided in the source package for installation and packaging instructions, as well as some hints on various issues.

"Vast" versions for visually impaired can be downloaded here: http://www.limitland.de/comixcursors.html . There are links for windows ports by firstfooter, teft and Jus on that page as well.

If you don't like the "hair" line for the text-, vertical-text- and crosshair-cursors, you can download the "NOHAIR"-sources below and replace the source files "text.svg", "vertical-text.svg" and "crosshair.svg" sources in the svg/LeftHanded and svg/RightHanded source-directories and build your cursors. These cursors might look better to you e.g. on dark backgrounds.

Have fun.
