On GNOME, 1. open System> Settings> Appearances, select 'Themes' tab. 2. drop archived file onto the window.
You need some more steps on Ubuntu 10.04, 1. sudo gedit /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme. 2. in the doc, find "Inherits=xxx", replace "xxx" by "Pick". 3. save, close, re-login. You don't have to mind that when you're on 10.10.
On Xfce, 1. Untar the file into ~/.icons. 2. go to Settings Manager> Mouse, on Theme tab, select "Pick". 3. re-login.
If you have an old version installed, remove ~/.icons/Pick, before you install a new one.Last changelog:
ver 2.0: Removed non-pick cursors, all the cursors are now guitar picks. ver 2.1: added some cursors.
I love this cursor theme, but it does have what I consider a significant flaw: the hotspot for the text cursor is left-aligned instead of in the middle. This makes selecting text more difficult than it should be. I know this theme is several years old and probably won't be updated, but I thought I would point it out anyway. I would edit it myself if I knew how.
Thanks!
I tried to suppose when the cursors go wrong.
Case 1: When you do something as a super user or someone greater, your cursor and themes becomes default ones if you haven't changed your themes as 'GDM'.
Case 2: Some cursor theme might not work in some applications which requires some special cursors. But I haven't been in such a kind of situations before. If you meet some strange actions with my cursor, please tell me what application you used.
In the other cases, I'm sorry I don't know why.

Muy buen cursor. es posible que hagas uno un poco más pequeño?
I love it :). Just a quick thing. I'm on 10.10, in some cases the cursor falls back to default one. Could we fix that?
