An x-cursor theme heavily based on capitaine cursors and elementary (Mint) for use on my KDE desktop.

Captain Frank cursors

This is an x-cursor theme copied from heavily based on Capitaine cursors and elementary (redesigned for Linux Mint) cursors icon theme. The source files were made in Inkscape.

Installation

To install the cursor theme simply copy the compiled theme to your icons directory. For local user installation:

cp -pr dist/ ~/.icons/captain-frank-cursors

For system-wide installation for all users:

sudo cp -pr dist/ /usr/share/icons/captain-frank-cursors

Then set the theme with your preferred desktop tools.

License

This cursor icon theme is based on Capitaine cursors and elementary (redesigned for Linux Mint), the former is under the LGPLv3 license and the latter under GPLv3.

I really don't know much about licensing, I hope there is no conflict in licensing this icon theme under LGPLv3.

Captain Frank cursors is LGPLv3. See COPYING for more details.

Building from source

Building the x-cursor theme from SVG source requires a regular inkscape installation. It also needs a command called xcursorgen. If the build script fails, you should probably install inkscape and xcursorgen using your preferred package manager :)

You'll find everything you need to build and modify this cursor set in the src/ directory. To build the xcursor theme from the SVG source run:

./build.sh

This will generate the pixmaps and appropriate aliases. The freshly compiled cursor theme will be located in dist/

Does not build with Inkscape >= 1.0

Hey @saligari, I wanted to try your cursors but it seems like the build script does not work with my Inkscape version 1.0.
