Description: Set of x11 cursors based on a colored ring theme. Light and dark versions in regular size, suitable for popular screens. Regular size set includes sizes 48, 64, 96 and 128px. (originally 48-96). Suitable size is about 1.5x to 2x classic cursor designs. Recommend the regular light theme for most users. Larger sets ("Mega") with sizes up to 512px for unusually high resolution screens, are available from the ColorRing cursor webpage.Last changelog:
This is a really unique take on cursors. I'm more a monochrome/minimalist person myself but it's really neat to see people innovating in these areas that most of us just sort of take for granted. Serious props, even if I don't think the style would really work for my tastes it's just awesome seeing people innovate in these ways
7I'm not sure I *like* this theme, but it's a really interesting idea that's different than anything else I can think of. A specific criticism I can share is that I feel like the ring makes it harder to visually notice the cursor change when I've moved the cursor over the specific target I'm trying to point at. It's easiest to see the effect (or rather, not see) when mousing-over the top-left corner of a window, when the arrow changes to a slightly different arrow. But I have a lot of respect for this theme and I'm glad you made it.
Hi. Thanks for your feedback. I checked the behavior example you mentioned at the top left window corner. Compared it with a cursorset that uses the corner and side cursors for resizing windows. I see what you mean about the ring covering up the aimed feature. For me, its no problem, and i didnt notice until you mentioned it. Good to know that some people will prefer more visually unobtrusive cursors. The 60% ring opacity is a compromise between seeing the cursor and seeing through it. I hope that some people enjoy using it.
