# Capitaine cursors
|
|
This is an x-cursor theme inspired by macOS and based on KDE Breeze.
|
|
The source files were made in Inkscape, and the theme was designed to
|
|
pair well with my icon pack,
|
|
[La Capitaine](https://github.com/keeferrourke/la-capitaine-icon-theme).
|
|
|
|
## Pre-built binaries
|
|
### GNU/Linux
|
|
Everything you need to build the xcursor theme is found in `src/`, and
|
|
the prebuilt theme for GNU/Linux desktops is found in `dist/`.
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
I have also provided a Windows cursor theme available in `.windows/`,
|
|
though it is not buildable from source due to the broken nature of
|
|
Microsoft's operating system. Microsoft cursors must be made using a
|
|
proprietary GUI editor from PNG sources, which is **bad**. For this
|
|
reason, the Windows version of Capitaine cursors will not receive
|
|
substantial updates.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
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 :)
|
|
|
|
## License
|
|
Capitaine cursors is based on KDE Breeze cursors, as such it falls under
|
|
the same license.
|
|
|
|
Capitaine cursors is LGPLv3. See COPYING for more details.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
### \*NIXes, \*BSDs, and possibly others
|
|
To install the cursor theme simply copy the compiled theme to your icons
|
|
directory. For local user installation:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cp -pr dist/ ~/.icons/capitaine-cursors
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For system-wide installation for all users:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo cp -pr dist/ /usr/share/icons/capitaine-cursors
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then set the theme with your preferred desktop tools.
|
|
|
|
#### Fedora and EPEL
|
|
There is a third party Copr repository with ready-to-use RPMs:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo dnf copr enable tcg/themes
|
|
sudo dnf install la-capitaine-cursor-theme
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
Now the package hs been moved to the official repository
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -S capitaine-cursors
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Ubuntu
|
|
[PPA](https://launchpad.net/~dyatlov-igor/+archive/ubuntu/la-capitaine) (maintained by [@igor-dyatlov](https://github.com/igor-dyatlov)):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dyatlov-igor/la-capitaine
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install la-capitaine-cursor-theme
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
The Windows build comes with an INF file to make installation easy.
|
|
1. Open `.windows/` in Explorer, and right click on `install.inf`.
|
|
2. Click 'Install' from the context menu, and authorise the
|
|
modifications to your system.
|
|
3. Open `Control Panel` > `Personalisation and Appearance` >
|
|
`Change mouse pointers`, and select Capitaine cursors.
|
|
4. Click 'Apply'.
|
|
|
|
## Building from source
|
|
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/`
|

week working on software and artwork for the community. If you like this
