kdelook.org is a great place for themes (including various x cursors). freshmeat has a themes section as well. If you use gnome, you'll want to google for gnome and gtk themes, if you use enlightenment you'll need google as well (or someone who uses those environments to answer you ... while I like all three, for practical reasons at work I use kde at present). WRT your cursor question: If you emerge any of the theme cursors you'll get a notice explaining exactly how to make one of the alternative cursors your default. My custom build script for my systems at work makes golden-xcursors the default, for example. * To use this set of cursors, edit or create the file ~/.Xdefaults * and add the following line: * Xcursor.theme: Silver * * Also, you can change the size by adding a line like: * Xcursor.size: 48 * * To globally use this set of mouse cursors edit the file: * /usr/share/cursors/xfree/default/index.theme * and change the line: * Inherits=[current setting] * to * Inherits=Silver * Note this will be overruled by a user's ~/.Xdefaults file. * * If you experience flickering, try setting the following line in * the Device section of your XF86Config: * Option "HWCursor" "false" doing an 'ls' on /usr/share/cursors/xfree reveals: Blue default gentoo-blue gold redglass Silver gentoo gentoo-silver handhelds whiteglass so presumably, to use the gentoo cursors you would substitute Inherits=gentoo for 'Inherits=Silver' above (note that case is important, as it references a linux directory name) good luck!
