X11 and mouse themes

I just got bored of the old black/white mouse cursor on my X11 desktop.

On http://www.kde-look.org, you're able to find dozens of new mouse themes. I picked Crystal XCursors, a nifty theme with blue, shiny cursors.

Installation is as easy as this:

$ tar xvfz 6240-Crystalcursors.tar.gz
$ cd Crystalcursors
$ make
$ make install

You might wanna check your settings - using kcontrol or something similar - but in my case it worked out of the box (Debian/unstable).

Depends on your settings in ~/.icons if it works out of the box or not. Most icon packages overwrite your default theme there. Also try the jimmac theme!

actually i tried jimmac's style just before i picked crystals xcursor

both are beautiful, maybe i just switch daily

btw: you're right, this theme simply overwrites your default theme.
