Jim's Mouse Cursors for X11

Here's what's here:

• Introduction
• White Cursors
• 3D Cursors
• 'Dot' Theme Cursors
• Large Cursors
• Various Random Cursors

Introduction

I made these cursors to complement my definable-mouse-cursor patch for Window Maker. The cursors are not specific to Window Maker, though, and can be used with xsetroot with no trouble. All the cursors are regular X11 bitmaps (XBMs).

Each cursor consists of a cursor bitmap and a mask bitmap. The mask bitmap determines what portions of the cursor bitmap are opaque (the '1' bits in the mask bitmap) or transparent (the '0' bits). You need both bitmaps.

White Cursors

Shaped like the some of the default X11 cursors, but white with black outlines.

	Cursor Bitmap	Mask Bitmap
	white_left_ptr.xbm	white_left_ptr_mask.xbm
	white_right_ptr.xbm	white_right_ptr_mask.xbm
	white_fleur.xbm	white_fleur_mask.xbm
	white_sizing.xbm	white_sizing_mask.xbm

3D Cursors

A little bit of shading or highlighting gives these cursors a bit of a 3D look (remember, this is only done with two colors!).

	Cursor Bitmap	Mask Bitmap
	3d_arrow_left.xbm	3d_arrow_left_mask.xbm
	3d_arrow_right.xbm	3d_arrow_right_mask.xbm
	3d_arrow_left_black.xbm	3d_arrow_left_black_mask.xbm
	3d_arrow_right_black.xbm	3d_arrow_right_black_mask.xbm
	3d_harpoon_left.xbm	3d_harpoon_left_mask.xbm
	3d_harpoon_right.xbm	3d_harpoon_right_mask.xbm
	3d_harpoon_left_black.xbm	3d_harpoon_left_black_mask.xbm
	3d_harpoon_right_black.xbm	3d_harpoon_right_black_mask.xbm
	3d_ptr_left.xbm	3d_ptr_left_mask.xbm
	3d_ptr_right.xbm	3d_ptr_right_mask.xbm
	3d_ptr_left_black.xbm	3d_ptr_left_black_mask.xbm
	3d_ptr_right_black.xbm	3d_ptr_right_black_mask.xbm

'Dot' Theme Cursors

I think these are the niftiest cursors i've ever created. :-) Your opinion may vary.

	Cursor Bitmap	Mask Bitmap
	dot_arrow_left.xbm	dot_arrow_left_mask.xbm
	dot_arrow_right.xbm	dot_arrow_right_mask.xbm
	dot_move.xbm	dot_move_mask.xbm
	dot_resize.xbm	dot_resize_mask.xbm
	dot_wait.xbm	dot_wait_mask.xbm

Large Cursors

Larger-than-normal cursors for those who have trouble seeing 16x16 cursors at higher resolutions.

	Cursor Bitmap	Mask Bitmap
	left_ptr_large.xbm	left_ptr_large_mask.xbm
	left_ptr_20.xbm	left_ptr_20_mask.xbm
	left_ptr_24.xbm	left_ptr_24_mask.xbm
	left_ptr_32.xbm	left_ptr_32_mask.xbm
	right_ptr_large.xbm	right_ptr_large_mask.xbm
	right_ptr_20.xbm	right_ptr_20_mask.xbm
	right_ptr_24.xbm	right_ptr_24_mask.xbm
	right_ptr_32.xbm	right_ptr_32_mask.xbm
	fleur_20.xbm	fleur_20_mask.xbm
	fleur_24.xbm	fleur_24_mask.xbm
	fleur_32.xbm	fleur_32_mask.xbm
	sizing_20.xbm	sizing_20_mask.xbm
	sizing_24.xbm	sizing_24_mask.xbm
	sizing_32.xbm	sizing_32_mask.xbm

Various Random Cursors

I had trouble classifying these.

	Cursor Bitmap	Mask Bitmap
	arrow_ptr_left.xbm	arrow_ptr_left_mask.xbm
	arrow_ptr_right.xbm	arrow_ptr_right_mask.xbm
	broken_x.xbm	broken_x_mask.xbm
	delta_pointer.xbm	delta_pointer_mask.xbm
	diamond.xbm	diamond_mask.xbm
	triangle_ptr_left.xbm	triangle_ptr_left_mask.xbm
	triangle_ptr_right.xbm	triangle_ptr_right_mask.xbm
