xcursorgen: Create an X cursor file using a config file.

xcursorgen

$ xcursorgen ${path-to-config-cursor} ${path-to-output_file}

try on your machine

The command "xcursorgen" is a command-line tool used to generate X11 cursor files (.cur) from a given configuration cursor file (.ini or .txt).

The command has two arguments:

${path-to-config-cursor}: This is the path to the input configuration cursor file. It specifies the location and name of the file that contains the cursor configuration. This file typically defines the shape, size, and hotspot position of the cursor.
${path-to-output_file}: This is the path to the output file. It specifies the location and name of the file where the generated X11 cursor file will be saved. The output file will have the .cur extension.

Using xcursorgen, you can convert a cursor configuration file into a usable X11 cursor file that can be used to customize the appearance of the cursor on an X11-based desktop environment.
