Description

xcursor-themes - cursors images for the X window system. The package comes with three cursor themes : 'redglass', 'whiteglass' and 'handhelds'. Additionally selecting the 'core' theme switches back to the traditional X server "core" cursors. To use the new cursors - set the environment variable XCURSOR_PATH to "~/.icons:${PREFIX}/lib/X11/icons" - either : a) set the XCURSOR_THEME environment variable to one of the theme names b) create ~/.icons/default/index.theme containing (for example to use the whiteglass theme): -- Cut -- [Icon Theme] Inherits=whiteglass -- Cut -- The XCURSOR_SIZE environment variable can be used to set the size of the cursors.
