Description: This theme has a lot modifications of DMZ theme.The modification idea is to put a background to each DMZ cursors. It's a pack of seven mouse themes, just changing the background color. You never will lose it sight. I changed the left_ptr_watch and watch cursor, and I added animations for them, you will can see, one of them, in the screenshot number two. Cursor is looking well in both dark and clear backgrounds. If you find any errors, please let me know in the comments section.
They were built with Inkscape and it has new pointers and animations. They are an attractive pointers of 48 pixels, for people who like this marvelous cursor theme. It's almost flat, because only has shadow's blur and hasn't any degradated image. I've added some symlinks to Steam, and everything needed for KDE, GNOME and Unity, so now this one works great in these four Desktop Environments. I would change some things so you can expect updates. If you find any errors, please let me know in the comments section.
HOW TO INSTALL IT 1- Locate the file "160115-bDMZT.tar.gz" downloaded. It's probably in your Downloads folder. 2- Right click on it and left click on "extract here". You will see the folder "bDMZT". This include seven themes: abDMZ, bbDMZ, dbDMZ, fbDMZ, gbDMZ, rbDMZ and ybDMZ, which are the themes to install: a=aqua, b=blue, d=dark, f=fuchsia, g=green, r=red and y=yellow. 3- Move as root each theme folder to /usr/share/icons. Open a terminal as root and you can use the following command line, changing a in abDMZ by b, d, f, g, r or y [quote]mv Downloads/bDMZT/abDMZ /usr/share/icons/[/quote]
ON KDE 4- Change cursor theme, by example abDMZ, with desktop setting tools. 5- If you want to make it the default cursor and see this cursor theme on login screen KDM, you must edit as root the index.theme system file located in /usr/share/icons/default. Use next command: [quote]nano /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme[/quote] and then change the name present after of "=", sign to abDMZ 6- Reboot.
ON GNOME or UNITY 4- Now we choose a theme, by example abDMZ, writing the next command line in terminal: [quote]sudo ln -fs /usr/share/icons/abDMZ/cursor.theme /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme[/quote] 5- Select the cursor theme with MyUnity, gnome-tweak-tool, ubuntu-tweak or another Desktop Settings Tool. 6- Reboot.
9Thank you for this. I can't believe no one has commented in 7 years. Although perhaps it's because of the registration process. And needing to add yet registration signon (that I may never need again) to the never ending list we already have. Thank God for password managers. Anyway I see them often in YouTube tutorial videos, but trying to find way to add a highlighted cursor, wasn't as easy as I assumed it would be. Yours work great, and easy to install. I registered just to say thank you.

Thank you. It works. Ubuntu 20.04 Gnome... Is it possible to reduce the size of the "colored" circle around the pointer?
