>White & colorful Mouse Pointers

Go talk to the XFree86 people, KDE can't do much about colorful/animated mouse pointers without some help from them. White mouse cursors would be possible, but why? I like them the way they are. Think different :-)

Dude. Ever heard of a program called "xaniroc" (or something similar)?

I compiled and ran that on an AIX/X11R5-machine in 1995. What did it do? It animates the mouse pointer. So it is possible!

IIRC it's on ftp.x.org/pub/contrib or similar.

Ever seen the mouse pointer in enlightenment?

It sure isn't your usual ugly black cursor

color pointers - it should be possible

Everbody ever run a SDL program? They can have colored, animated, etc mouse cursors, as sdl works on X.... I think it is possible.
And plus, I think we NEED (ok, ok, we WANT actually) it on kde 3.0.
It's a shame having a nice desktop with ugly mouse cursors :(
