xcurs

XCurs is a software program designed for the purpose of editing XCursor formatted XFree86 mouse cursors. This particular format came into existence through the efforts of Keith Packard, and can be found in XFree86 v4.3.

One of the key elements of XCursor is that it includes Alpha Info, which allows for greater flexibility in editing and adjusting the cursor to meet specific needs. In addition, the format boasts the ability to support up to 16 million colors, far more than the bitmap cursor format used in the past. This expanded color palette is an important feature, as it allows for more precise customization of the cursors, letting users truly make it their own.

Furthermore, the animated cursor feature in XCursor is another significant addition. With the ability to create animations for the cursor, users can add a whole new level of excitement to their desktop experience. Overall, XCurs is an essential tool for those looking to make the most out of the newly available XCursor format, offering a wealth of features and capabilities that were unavailable in prior cursor incarnations.
