didn't do it by typing a series of zeroes and ones into a file. Is there
a standard "cursor editor" software application? Or at least a standard
way to create a cursor theme?
You can use GIMP to modify/create Xcursor files. Install adwaita-icon-theme, go to
/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors and modify the images:
# cd /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors
# for i in *; do mv $i $i.xmc
# chown <user>:<user> *
$ gimp /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/*.xmc
# cd /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors
# for i in *.xmc; do mv $i ${i%.xmc}
You'll see in gimp that each icon has 3 resolutions: 48px, 32px and 24px.
BTW, is there a way to change the default xcursor size from within TDE? I have to put
#Xcursor.size: 48
Xcursor.size: 32
in ~/.Xresources to get anything bigger than 24x24 pixel.
