[tde-users] Re: pointer size adjust - mouse cursor themes

There *might* be another way, although it's very unconventional, like pretty much everything else I do, but not because I set out to do it differently. Or, this could be off the mark, and if so, I apologize. But here goes ... I have something like 50 mouse cursor themes available, although for a long time now I've only been using one, called TSC, which is nice, because it's made of concentric circles, so left- and right-handed look the same, one would only need to change the right-click or left-click settings. Otherwise, it's legible against pretty much any background, and large enough for my old eyes to see. How I got these is what's weird. Long ago, after I had at last given up on KDE 3.5 Hardy Heron 8.04x, and hadn't yet discovered or figured out how to get TDE running on my machine, I gritted my teeth and installed the new KDE5 Plasma desktop. When this was installed, I collected all these mouse themes available. After I purged everything KDE5 on my system, these mouse cursor themes remained, and I've been using them ever since (about 2012 or 2013, I believe). (And by the way, I just counted my mouse cursor themes, and I actually have 131 themes.) I've asked about this before, but I don't know if anybody know the answer, as perhaps it seems like suggesting that we adopt some alien technology fallen out of the sky. But I'll put it out there again, as others might like to use them. I am not even sure where they are kept in my system, as I've searched for their folder, and I only seem to have them here: see screenshots. What I am asking is, Is there some way that we can download these themes to use with our TDE desktop, without actually installing all the other KDE5 krap? This may benefit other TDE users, as well as my future self, if I should ever lose these themes. Bill P.S. I've asked this question before, as witness the two screenshots, a few years apart, both showing my buffet of themes.
