This is mainly just a reminder for me, but if anyone else wants to take this, go for it. Pasi Orovuo wrote an MCS plugin to change X cursor themes: http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/xfce/2005-June/014348.html This should be merged into xfce-mcs-plugins. As of GTK 2.8, cursor themes will be instant-apply (for GTK apps, anyway): http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308104 See also: http://blogs.gnome.org/view/herzi/2005/07/04/0 Pasi's MCS plugin will need to be modified to set the XSETTINGS key Gtk/CursorThemeName. We should also support Gtk/CursorThemeSize.
FYI, my initial thought is just to integrate this into the existing mouse settings panel.
I was anyway going to make it a bit less hackish, so I'm willing to look into this. Though, for me an equally suitable place to integrate it in would be the User Interface Settings panel as it contains other theme settings as well.
Implemented. Requires a merge from the SVN xinitrc to work properly. add mouse cursor theme selector from Pasi Orovuo, with bunches of modifications by yours truly. when gtk 2.8 comes out, this should support changing cursor themes on the fly without any changes. --This line, and those below, will be ignored-- M xfce-utils/trunk/scripts/xinitrc A xfce-mcs-plugins/trunk/plugins/mouse_plugin/mouse-cursor-settings.c A xfce-mcs-plugins/trunk/plugins/mouse_plugin/mouse-plugin-internal.h M xfce-mcs-plugins/trunk/plugins/mouse_plugin/mouse_plugin.c M xfce-mcs-plugins/trunk/plugins/mouse_plugin/Makefile.am
