Icon cursors and Masks

Various cursor icons which can be set in twm and other window managers or used internally by programs. Many more cursors can be created using the icons in other sections such as those listed below.

Actually you could create a cursor from almost any icon file, by just creating an appropriate mask file. The PbmPlus filter pnmmask, makes this very easy.

To use these file under X Windows you would issue a command.

   xsetroot -fg {color} -bg {color}  -cursor   {name}.xbm  {name}_mask.xbm

Or if the Window Manager sets the cursors for various things you can set the cursor in its RC file.
