default-plus-plus-magenta
Everything new is old again!
Description
This is an X cursor theme. It's based on the default theme and its bigger variant big-cursor. I wanted a more visible cursor theme that had a classic look. My first attempt was default-plus-magenta. It was only available in two sizes and had a pixelated look.
I made this theme as a further development. I made it with vector graphics, so it can be made into more sizes. This theme is very simple. There are no animated cursors.
Just like default-plus-magenta this theme is available in three variants. In this case, however, each variant comes in nine sizes: 16px, 24px, 32px, 36px, 40px, 48px, 64px, 80px and 96px. The variants are:
- default-plus-plus-magenta; the most basic and most brightest version
- default-plus-plus-magenta-translucent; has opacity set to 75% so you see what's behind the cursor
- default-plus-plus-magentaglass; same as -translucent but with a shadow, similar to themes like whiteglass & redglass

Installation
Just put the theme directories (found in the icons directory) in the right place, such as /usr/local/icons/ or ~/.icons
Usage
Works like any other cursor theme. Just try them!
Support
No support available at this time.
Roadmap
This project is pretty much done. I may update it if bugs are found. If necessary I may add some cursors, but don't expect it.
Contributing
Not expecting contributions.
