CVS now has Xft2 built in, so the separate package is no longer needed (and must be uninstalled first). >> Big red cursor :) >> The text cursor has quite a shadow. > >Cool. 3D cursors now? Everything but 3D, however you could make 3Dish cursors if you wanted to I suppose. The new cursors are part of the new Xcursor support by Keith Packard. Xcursor supports color, animated, anti-aliased, alpha blended (transparency and dropshadows), themeable, multi-size mouse cursors. Also try setting: XCURSOR_THEME=whiteglass prior to starting X to get the white cursor theme. Enjoy! -- Mike A.
