Mouse icons

Hello guys, I've seen that Gimp has very colorful and nice mouse icons. I wonder what do you use to make that possible? also, would you point me into the right direction where that code is placed at your tree?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Nery,

You can get custom cursors using GDK. Take a look at this link:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/stable/gdk-Cursors.html#id615496 In the same way they create a cursor from bitmap data in that example, you can create a cursor from a pixbuf (using gdk_cursor_new_from_pixbuf ()), and the pixbuf will be create from a file (using gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file () on an image file)

All the information you need is located in the GDK documentation: GDK Pixbuf documentation -
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk-pixbuf/stable/index.html GDK documentation - http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/stable/index.html

Hope this helps =) LightningIsMyName
