The instructions provided with this cursor theme are incorrect. The patch you've applied tells Qt that when an application asks for the forward-diagonal arrow cursor it should give it the top-left-corner cursor instead, which is why this happens. You don't need to patch Qt or KDE for it to work with Xcursor. The X server has a built-in backwards compatibility mechanism that makes it work with existing applications without having to modify them. When an application creates a bitmap cursor, Xcursor computes a hash value from the bitmap and looks for that hash value in the cursor theme. So cursor theme authors only have to create those hash values as symlinks in the cursors directory for it to work. Here's the list of hash values needed for KDE and Qt to work with Xcursor: Arrow cursors: 00008160000006810000408080010102 -> v_double_arrow 028006030e0e7ebffc7f7070c0600140 -> h_double_arrow fcf1c3c7cd4491d801f1e1c78f100000 -> fd_double_arrow c7088f0f3e6c8088236ef8e1e3e70000 -> bd_double_arrow Split vertical/horizontal cursors: 14fef782d02440884392942c11205230 -> sb_h_double_arrow 2870a09082c103050810ffdffffe0204 -> sb_v_double_arrow Qt and KDE hand cursors: 9d800788f1b08800ae810202380a0822 -> hand1 / hand2 e29285e634086352946a0e7090d73106 -> hand1 / hand2 DnD cursors: 03b6e0fcb3499374a867c041f52298f0 -> crossed_circle (forbidden) 4498f0e0c1937ffe01fd06f973665830 -> left_ptr (move cursor) 6407b0e94181790501fd1e167b474872 -> copy 640fb0e74195791501fd1ed57b41487f -> link Working and what's this cursors: 3ecb610c1bf2410f44200f48c40d3599 -> left_ptr_watch d9ce0ab605698f320427677b458ad60b -> question_arrow Where are these: fd_double_arrow, bd_double_arrow, crossed_circle ? They aren't included with xfree86 4.3 rc 1 (4.2.99.901) linux binary snapshot. The closest thing available to both fd_double_arrow and bd_double_arrow is 'sizing', but that doesn't look right. The only 'icons' (cursors) included that would work are in separate files (ll_angle, lr_angle, ul_angle, ur_angle or appropriately top_left_corner, top_right_corner, bottom_left_corner, bottom_right_corner). I don't see anything for crossed_circle, but I suppose 'target' is close enough? Are those three files just not in the binary snapshot release candidate or are they planned to be? If not, either some new icon-cursors need be made or qt/kde changes. Am I missing something? hmm, and how do you get these hash values ? i'm using whiteglass with kde 3.1 *** Bug 56790 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
