Hummmm, I guess you have a very good point. I didn't knew E cursors where so complex, I though they were just 'imitating' X behaviour.
Still, I would do just bad copies as a X theme. X/GTK/QT apps would use them as they currently do. I just won't hurt that much to the eyes moving from a E cursor theme to an X theme. They won't be as cool and functional as in E, but they it won't look like you have 2 different sets of themes which behave randomly. Did I mention that having 2 differen't themes *really* annoys me? :D I will make an example, so you guys don't think I'm just whinning (ok, maybe I am =D ). I use google chrome (not chromium, but chrome). Inside the browser, I get all X cursors, so I get ugly arrow, ugly hand-on-click, ugly type-writter, ugly resizes. I would rather have bad E cursors copies (even if they are just animated gif) that ugly X cursors :D On Saturday February 2 2013 23:00:38 David Seikel escribió: > On Sat, 2 Feb 2013 22:19:34 -0300 Wido <wido...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I know that E mouse works differently.
