Free cursor mania software for linux

Multi-Cursor Window Manager is a modified Unix window manager which provides multiple cursors. This allows multiple users to simultaneously interact with a Unix desktop environment.

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

XCurs is a program used for editing XCursor formatted XFree86 mouse cursors. This type of format became available as a result of Keith Packards work on XFree86 v4.3.
Whats So Important about xcursor?
xcursor contains a) Alpha Info, b) ~16 million colors c) animation of cursor, none of which were available in prior cursor incarnation (bitmap cursor format, which had transparency, but not colored one and only 2 colors which were not quite easily changeable.)
Main features:
- loading (from RGBA capable files)
- saving (no symlinked cursors will be saved) (into XCursor format)
- xhot/yhot/delay management
- removing of single image
- adding of single image

crystal xcursors provides a crystal look&feel cursor pack.
X11 mouse theme with the crystal look&feel,there are four versions in the package.
Enhancements:
- this release only fixes some hot spot-related bugs into the left-handed version. Many thanks to Markus Bauer and Bastian Venthur for the report and patch.

Versatile Cursors for GNUemacs is a set of emacs commands managing an "item" cursor (e.g. a word, expression, sentence, or defun).
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.

GIMP arrow and cursor brushes project consists of 17 sets of arrows and three cursors (a total of 72 brushes) to put in your GIMP brushes folder.

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.

Term::ANSIScreen is a Perl module for terminal control using ANSI escape sequences.

SYNOPSIS

# qw/:color/ is exported by default, i.e. color() & colored()

use Term::ANSIScreen qw/:color :cursor :screen :keyboard/;

print setmode(1), setkey(a,b);
print "40x25 mode now, with a mapped to b.";
; resetkey; setmode 3; cls;

locate 1, 1; print "@ This is (1,1)", savepos;
print locate(24,60), "@ This is (24,60)"; loadpos;
print down(2), clline, "@ This is (3,15)n";

setscroll 1, 20;

color black on white; clline;
print "This line is black on white.n";
print color reset; print "This text is normal.n";

print colored ("This text is bold blue.n", bold blue);
print "This text is normal.n";
print colored [bold blue], "This text is bold blue.n";
print "This text is normal.n";

use Term::ANSIScreen qw/:constants/; # constants mode
print BLUE ON GREEN . "Blue on green.n";

$Term::ANSIScreen::AUTORESET = 1;
print BOLD GREEN . ON_BLUE "Bold green on blue.", CLEAR;
print "nThis text is normal.n";

# Win32::Console emulation mode
# this returns a Win32::Console object on a Win32 platform
my $console = Term::ANSIScreen->new;
$console->Cls; # also works on non-Win32 platform

Term::ANSIScreen is a superset of Term::ANSIColor (as of version 1.04 of that module). In addition to color-sequence generating subroutines exported by :color and :constants, this module also features :cursor for cursor positioning, :screen for screen control, as well as :keyboard for key mapping.

NOTES

All subroutines in Term::ANSIScreen will print its return value if called under a void context.

The cursor position, current color, screen mode and keyboard mappings affected by Term::ANSIScreen will last after the program terminates. You might want to reset them before the end of your program.
