I've made it so that the special theme "core" maps standard cursor names to the core cursors. This is slightly different than the description above, it means that any path that leads to a standard cursor name will end up with a core cursor matching that name with this special theme. This allows you to configure the theme to be core cursors by editing the default/index.theme file, by setting the XCURSOR_THEME environment variable or by setting the Xcursor.theme resource. Applications which install custom cursors along the normal icon path in the default directory will continue to find their cursors even when usin the 'core' theme. They will also be able to place a special 2-color version of their custom cursor in the core directory so that it matches the core theme. > Finally, I think that we need an Xcursor theme, call it ``classic'', > that consists of the traditional core cursors albeit with a slight > shadow.

That should be readily automatable; take the mask image, shift it, apply a gaussian blur and make it translucent. We could also insert double-size versions of the cursors to give people reasonable sizes; most of them could just be pixel-doubled, while a few could get edited by hand to smooth out the edges a bit. -keith _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
