Hi, after wasting half an hour searching the web, another vote for this.
please create /usr/share/doc/xcursor-themes/README.Debian containing
a one line description of each of the cursor sets and how to change
them.
for example:
Cursor themes included in this package:
handhelds - Tiny cursor set appropriate for low resolution displays
redglass - Fancy red-faced cursor set
whiteglass - Fancy white-faced cursor set
Additionally this package makes available the core theme via the
Debian Alternatives system:
core - The classic X11 cursor theme
[maybe mention something about the default Industrial/DMZ theme too]
to change the theme used system-wide run:
update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
to change the theme for a single user account you can create a symlink
to a theme file in ~/.icons/default/:
# (for example to use the "core" theme)
THEME=core
mkdir -p ~/.icons/default/
ln -s /etc/X11/cursors/$THEME.theme ~/.icons/default/index.theme
For the record, the only reason I have need to change the x-cursor
theme is that a fat cross-hairs cursor is completely useless for
precision work. A fat one with shadows may be more aesthetically
pleasing form to some, but it is completely useless in function.
aside: I seem to recall either from earlier Linux or probably Solaris
days of yore there was a cursor set with 1-2px gap around the dot in
the middle of the cross-hair. Can anyone recall what that was called?
it was even better for precision work
