in Debian the cursors appear to be in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons ,
probably it's the same with Ubuntu.

There is a page on the Tcl wiki where this is discussed in detail:

http://wiki.tcl.tk/8674

The exact procedure depends on the platform in use.
On X11 you will have to store the cursor data in an xbm (X-bitmap) file,
then you can do something like:

  root = Tk()
  b = Button(root, text='Close', cursor=('@example.xbm', 'green'),
 command=root.quit)
  b.pack(padx=100, pady=100)
  root.mainloop()

Best regards

Michael

[Tkinter-discuss] Cursors

[adil gourinda]

Where the cursors are stored in the file system ? And if I want to make my own 
cursors, to which file's format I should convert the images?
I work on kubuntu 17.04 LTS
