Cursor Theme Source

• Do not edit cursor assets directly (i.e. those in the "../Theme_name/out/X11/Theme_name" folder)!
• To modify the cursors, edit source SVG file found in this directory and render them with the appropriate script.
• To edit the cursors you will need inkscape installed and to build and the render the cursor set you'll need python-pil and x11-apps installed.

Render Scripts

For simplified development, has various scripts to render and build the cursor set are provided

• render-cursors.py will render the cursor PNG assets into bitmaps at the appropriate sizes; ran by passing the source filename to it: ../render-cursors.py ./Bibata_Classic/source-cursors.svg (e.g. Bibata Classic)
• x11-make.sh builds the cursor assets into a Xcursor set
• w32-make.sh builds the cursor assets into a Windows cursor set

Cursor SVG source

The source SVG (e.g. Bibata Classic) for the cursors is laid out in such a way to make editing/creating cursors simple, with a variety of layers:

• hotspots shows the exact point where the cursor is active within the 24x24 region (hidden by default)
• slices is read by the render script and each 24x24 square had an ID that is the cursor file name (hidden by default)
• cursors pretty self-explanatory, these are the drawn cursors
• labels are just labels

Both the busy cursors (the large and pointer versions) require 60 different assets to achieve a 60 FPS animation when compiled.
