OK folks, I'm stumped. I have some fancy new cursors I'd like to try out with my RH 9, but I can't seem to get them to work. I got a set called Silver. With that I get the cursors and an index.theme file: [Icon Theme] Inherits=Silver Next thing I do, following procedures on many sites, I go to ~/.icons (I *DO NOT* want to do this in /usr/share/icons until I know it works...just like I put my fonts in ~/.fonts) and have this: ~/.icons/default/index.theme ~/.icons/Silver/cursors/...(all the cursor bits) So, I restart X...no cursors. So, I try: ~/.icons/index.theme ~/.icons/Silver/cursors/... Restart X...nope. OK: ~/.icons/default/index.theme ~/.icons/cursors/... Restart X...nuh-uh. Hmm: ~/.icons/index.theme ~/.icons/cursors/... Restart X...@@#$! it. How 'bout: ~/.icons/default/index.theme ~/.icons/Silver/cursors/... AND in .Xdefaults: Xcursor.theme: Silver Restart X...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! So, can anyone out there please help me, or should I just switch to Gentoo, LFS, Mandrake, or any of the other distros that seem to let people do this? Do I have to use KDE and not GNOME? What, please? Matt -- "And isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony, anyway?
