i was wondering what the new redglass and whiteglass cursor themes for Xcursor looked like so i found them in the repository. here they are:

http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/xcursorgen/

(open the redglass and whiteglass folders)

mission critical apps: now with translucent cursors

i just compiled it for slackware last nite and will probably contribute a package to xfree or whatever and let me tell you, 4.3 is Slick. The cursors are beautiful (i like whiteglass better than redglass) and xrandr is quite useful (id like to start working on tools for that). Im working on my own cursor set now.

I think I'll wait for the binaries to come out.

If you're running slackware you can install it with the Dropline-Installer (http://www.dropline.net/gnome/)
run that and choose to install XFree86 4.3

you DON'T have to install Gnome 2.2. you can just simply choose to install Xfree86 4.3 only.

it will download it and install it for you

Xfree86? the question should be is their anyway to compile it within the human lifespan....

[choasforages]

as for compiling

Code: [Select]

but that kinda needs the ports system....

[choasforages]

then agian, try www.unix.com, or linuxfromscratch. both have directions for compiling XFree86. but you have to ask at unix.com
