Any bug report or improvement idea is very welcome. See the "how to install" link below for installation instructions on KDE. Else extract the archive in ~/.icons/ .
With the sources download below you can configure and build your own set of cursors regarding transparency, outline- fill- and shadow-color, the size and various other options. See the scripts and README included. Note that you *must* have inkscape and ImageMagick installed to make use of it.
The cursors are named according to the freedesktop cursor naming convention now. The rest is linked. I hope nothing is missing. Additional cursors for mozilla/firefox are availlable.
Want left-handed cursors? Take the "-LH" downloads below.
The RPM installation has moved in 0.4.2 from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons to /usr/share/icons, so if you installed a previous version by rpm you better uninstall the package first - things might get messed up.
Enhancements:
- Fixed .theme file syntax, cursors dont appear as icons in gnome any more (thanx to Sune Vuorela).
GIMP cursor brushes 1.0
GIMP cursor brushes is a set of (50) brushes for use in the GIMP, created from assorted cursors. more>>
Seems basic things like cursors (most used for help-style pages) are often lacking.
I find lots of fancy, useless stuff -- much of it of real artistic merit -- but, as I said, impractical.
I blew the weekend making these brushes. Granted much consists of "prior art", but there was a good deal of editing involved. I even made the "Cursor Mouse" from scratch.
Use them for anything youd like. If you redistribute them, please include this file.
I post these, and perhaps make updates, at gimphelp.org. All the items will also be included (in png format) at wpclipart.com, the Public Domain clipart site.

Multi-Cursor Window Manager 1.0
Multi-Cursor Window Manager is a modified Unix window manager which provides multiple cursors. more>>
Using a modified x2x client users can capture the keyboard and mouse input from their workstation and send to their personal cursor on a shared computer display. Multiple cursors are distinguished by different colors, and users can simultaneously interact with separate windows.
There are 7 uniquely colored cursors available. The current multi-cursor window manager is based on a modified version of IceWM 1.2.13
The multi-cursor window manager works by time-slicing the system cursor to provide the appearance of multiple independent cursors.
Compiling the Software:
To compile Ice Window Manager:
>cd icewm
>./configure --without-imlib
>make
>make install
Note: there is a preferences file in the icewm directory ("icewm/preferences"). Move this file to the installation preferences directory. It has some default choices that work well for multi-user interaction. Also, use the "nice" theme in IceWM.
To compile the x2x client:
>cd x2x-mp
>xmkmf
>make

Versatile Cursors for GNUemacs 1.09
Versatile Cursors for GNUemacs is a set of emacs commands managing an more>>
Versatile Cursors for GNUemacs quickly re-assigns the cursor keys between these as needed. Built on this are high-level actions such as converting code blocks to separate functions.
This provides elegant and concise editing, and is pedal- and voice-friendly.
Main features:
- A block (or region) cursor, with motion and text selection by semantically significant units e.g. statements, statement parts, sentences, phrases, table rows and cells
- Editing in terms of these (e.g. ``Make the selected code conditional or ``Delete the selected text)
- Easy access to these through flexible, dynamic, rebinding of the arrow keys and others, with easy ways to navigate the space of possible navigation spaces
- High-level editing operations such as:
- Converting an expression to a local variable initialized to that value
- Converting a block of code to a procedure/function, working out automatically what parameters are required
- Means to access these (and other) navigation and editing commands through a narrow-channel interface such as footswitches (suitable for disability access, including RSI)
- Voice access setup for use with emacs-vr-mode
Enhancements:
- Mostly bug fixes, including a long-standing one for the mode changing wrongly on coming out of the minibuffer.
cx_Oracle 4.3.2
cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that allows access to Oracle. more>>
This API has been defined to encourage similarity between the Python modules that are used to access databases. By doing this, we hope to achieve a consistency leading to more easily understood modules, code that is generally more portable across databases, and a broader reach of database connectivity from Python.
The interface specification consists of several sections:
- Module Interface
- Connection Objects
- Cursor Objects
- DBI Helper Objects
- Type Objects and Constructors
- Implementation Hints
- Major Changes from 1.0 to 2.0
Enhancements:
- This release adds methods to LOB objects in order to improve performance of reading/writing LOB values.
- It also fixes support for native doubles and floats in Oracle 10g.
- Support was added for autocommit mode and reading/writing the size of the statement cache.
- A hook for returning objects other than tuples from cursors was also added.
GIMP arrow and cursor brushes 1.0
GIMP arrow and cursor brushes project consists of 17 sets of arrows and three cursors (a total of 72 brushes) for GIMP. more>>
Arrow brushes is my small payback for using the great GIMP program.
I had a hard time (actually impossible) finding any arrow brushes for the GIMP.
But .gbr files are easy to make, so I spent two days of my life making these arrows
(and a few "cursors") as my modest contribution.
Use them for anything youd like. If you redistribute them, please include this file.
I post these, and perhaps make updates, at gimphelp.org. All the items will also be included (in png format) at wpclipart.com, the Public Domain clipart site.
IsForth 1.21b
IsForth is a direct threaded Linux-only x86 Forth implementation coded in pure assembly using NASM macros. more>>
All I/O is done with syscalls. IsForth is almost a complete replacement for both libc and libncurses.
To use the debugger say debug xyzzy and from within the debugger..
Space - single steps
Enter - enters into words that nest
Escape - exits debugger
Cursor - move cursor within current definition
h - run to cursor location
H - auto step to current location
While auto stepping + and - change the step speed
Enhancements:
- The finishing touches were put on the keyboard handling for special keys.
OutKafe 5.2.0
OutKafe project is a complete internet cafe management suite. more>>
OutKafe (formerly ZybaCafe) is a next-generation free and open-source internet cafe management suite. OutKafe was forked from ZybaCafe by the original developers to be a 100% free and open-source project. The first 5.0.0 release is based on the last 4.x ZybaCafe release with some bugfixes and rebranding. The next phase of the project will replace all the closed-source parts of ZybaCafe including the windows client with GPLd replacements.
OutKafe comprises a server-side administration suite, as well as clients to manage time-control on machines. The standard version uses postgresql as an RDBMS but porting it to other database systems should not be very difficult.
OutKafe has a powerful plugin architecture allowing for easy extensibility and integration with other tools such as accounting packages and CRM systems.
Enhancements:
- A powerful theme system for the login screens was added.
- Multilingual support was added through gettext.
- Afrikaans and Portuguese translations are already available.
- Several critical bugs were fixed.
- The Windows client is no longer considered beta.

GTK Oracle 1.41
GTK Oracle is a GTK+ 2 interface to Oracle that aids in Oracle application development and testing. more>>
Its features include a schema browser, multiple SQL work areas, SQL syntax highlighting, bind variable entry widgets in the command window, and SQL*Plus-style command scripting.
For SQL statement analysis and tuning there is a tree-style SQL statement "explain plan" facility and the ability to load SQL statements from the runtime cursor cache (V$SQL table), Oracle Statspack repository, and the Oracle Automatic Workload Repository in Oracle version 10g. Full statistics are available on loaded statements.
Main features:
- manually running your applications SQL, outside of the application itself
- trying to find out what queries your application is even running
- checking and gathering statistics
- comparing plans
- running statspack to evaluate results
- autotracing
- peeking in AWR
- peeking the shared pool / v$sqlarea / statspack SQL
- identifying high-resource SQL then this might be of some help.
Usage:
- SQL in the text buffer (anything that gets run via the Execute button) is run on its own thread in the background so it will not block the GUI part, and you can cancel it. This execution thread is started when you start up the program, hopefully never exits, and receives commands via a GLib asynchronous queue, so you can safely keep hitting Execute while a command is running, it will just execute them in order.
- If you log in as SYSDBA you will get a combo box just under the main menubar. Changing the value will execute ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA=somebody; so when you browse it will be as if you were this user. Be aware that any SQL you execute will result in SYS being recorded as the parsing user in the cursor cache, however.
- If you want to access the cursor cache or statspack or AWR you will need to log in with SYSDBA privileges. You might be able to get away with simply having SELECT on SYS.V$SQLAREA and SYS.V$SQLTEXT.
- SYS is excluded from the cursor cache browsing results. Otherwise you end up with a mass of recursive SQL, which you are not going to be able to tune and that is the point here. If youre a masochist and you do want to browse recursives I suppose you can just modify the relevant SQL so that SYS is not exculded and recompile. Have fun.
- AWR features are only available on 10G servers.
- DBMS_OUTPUT works, go to Edit->DBMS OUTPUT Enable
