The Phinger Cursors spans an entire range of on-screen indicators, from grab hands and “loading” icons through to pickers, pens, and window repositioning emblems. It’s easy to forget that cursor themes have to include a lot more than just an ‘arrow’ and a ‘loading indicator’ of some description. Just how different could this quiver of arrows be? I was intrigued to try it as changing my cursor theme is something I rarely do (largely because I’ve never found Ubuntu’s stock cursors so bad I needed to switch). Now, there is a reason for this: I (like many of you) simply don’t pay much ‘conscious’ attention to the pointed speck my eyes follow around the screen.īut this weekend software engineer ~ phisch sent over a link to his self-described “over engineered cursor theme”. In the 13 years (give or take) I’ve being writing this blog I’ve shared tons of GTK themes, icon packs, GNOME Shell skins, Conky configs, font choices, and other desktop eye candy.īut do you know what I almost never cover?
