Aero Mouse Cursors with Drop Shadow

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://github.com/Infinality/mouse-cursors

Description:

Note that these cursor themes use symlinks for some cursors in order to reduce the size of the theme, and because hey, why duplicate data? If you have a problem where only 1 or 2 cursors show up in the theme, then somehow, the extraction didn't work properly. I would suggest doing something like:

cd /home/yourname/.icons/
tar zxvf /path/to/theme.tar.gz

That will preserve the symlinks properly.

Last changelog:

Fix github links 1 year ago

- Fixed github links to link to the "raw" file instead of the github page for the file.
- Uploaded a RPM file for installation on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS systems.

I had some app (and kwin) crashing with aero-large-drop on my new F22/KDE5 setup. I've since added some missing cursors to my local version of it, and haven't had crashes from that since. Any other people running KDE5 with experiences like that?

when I used your cursors on my Gentoo system, my click operation preform a double-click operation.

These don't install properly on ubuntu Lucid. After an install via the Appearance preferences, the cursors can be used, but they do not appear properly in the Pointer list. The example pointer is not displayed and the entry for the cursors is not permanent - as soon as one selects another pointer theme, the entry disappears.

Any pointers on how to fix this?

Thanks for making both right and left handed cursors, I had to convert a theme I liked since no-one was doing that at the time. I'm going to investigate your click points... :)

At the desktop, the theme are ok...
but in firefox 3, the clock icon is the default of the system. i read another comment and i think im not the only one who have this inssue. i hope you correct this, if possible, thanks

Regarding the "clock"...

On the desktop, it revolves clockwise, in FF 3, it revolves counterclockwise. If possible, could you correct the clock for use within Firefox?

I understand about left handed clocks, but my head tells me that all clocks go, well, clockwise.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04, with the Xfce WM. Firefox on both Gnome and Xfce are the same.

Thanks for all your work, it's highly appreciated.

Gotta say I'm lovin the left-handed cursors. Finally feels natural to use a computer, it's only been 20 yrs.

How did you flip the theme from right to left? I'd really like to flip another theme featured here (the a0x theme) to left handed. If I knew how, I would do it myself.

1-12-08 - Fixed some problems with the left-handed corner drag cursors, and made the wait cursor go clockwise instead of counter.

1-11-08 - Cursor sizes dramatically reduced by using symlinks for duplicates. Added left handed versions of all cursors!

12-24-07 - All themes have been updated to include a proper index.theme file. Hopefully this will resolve the problems some were having with Gnome. Let me know if you still have issues.

10-18-07 - The text selection and precision cursors are now correct in the Aero themes, with one exception: I added a 50% translucent 1px white border around those two, as I found I couldn't see the cursors against a black background.
* There were tons of extra files in the old tar.gz that I removed to make a leaner download.
* Also, of course, large cursors have been added!
