OK. I guess you don't agree with me, not everyone will. Keep in mind the screenshot only has 4 icons and many others such as the pointing hand have more obvious improvements. Though I'm a HUGE fan of jammac's icons in general the cursors are just not my favorite anymore. At first I almost didn't try Polar because, like you mentioned, they are a bit different both in size and appearance but I'm glad I did. Within 5 mins I realized they offer a sharpness and crispness that no other cursor set has been able to convey. Instead of having less control, *I feel* I have more. To me that is the ultimate test of a cursor. Now I've been using these for about a year and going back to the perfectly OK jimmac cursors seems a bit awkward due to the smaller than optimal size, which is important on large displays, and their rather flat appearance. Of course, ymmv, but there you have my experience. -- Chuck Huber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
