Title: Modifying Cursor

Hi all. Thought I might try the crosshair cursor. Could not seem to change it over. I did a search but came up empty. Thanks .......

Hi. Followed the directions and got a different set of cursors loaded into the theme page. I am having the same result. I only get 1 cursor, the top left one and cannot choose any of the others. I am sure this is probably a simple thing but I cannot see how to access any of the others. Thanks for all the help. Actually I liked the default cursors and wanted to try the cross-hair one but cant seem to access it. Only can get the arrow one facing left. I can change from white to black but not the shapes.

Maybe a picture is worth a bunch of words. Mine are seen and used ok in ~/.icons

You can't change the shapes, they change when a certain type of action is taken eg . grabbing the side of a window changes to an arrow with a line, or a hand when hovering over a web link.
