[XFree86] XFree86 4.2.99.3

2003-01-15 Thread Steven Gurr
Hello,

I recently upgraded to the 4.2.99.3 snapshot, and it all seems to be working 
fine for me. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of the red 
cursors that it uses, and get back the traditional black ones.

I've searched the WWW for this sort of information, but haven't yet managed to 
find any usefull advice.

I'm using the linux x68 version (I downloaded the binaries). If any other 
information is needed, just let me know.


Thank you

Steven

I've been looking at this myself.  `man Xcursor` will give you a bit more
information, but if you edit the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme and remove the line

Inherits=redglass

or change it to 

Inherits=

then startx again, it should revert to the solid cursor.

I've just found a way to do this on a per-user basis, too.  Create a
~/.icons/default/index.theme reading

[Icon Theme]
Inherits=

Also, some window managers might be able to load their own cursors.  YMMV.

Or export XCURSOR_THEME=default.

Ah, that does the job even better.  (`Admirably' is probably the word I'm
looking for.)  What manpage have you been reading that I missed?
