3dcolor XCursors
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Here are some variations of the 3dwhite cursorset i posted earlier.
Now included are variations in red, green, blue, yellow, white & black.
For each color there are two cursorsets, one with and one without shadow.
Also included are the source pictures and a simple shell script to
generate the cursors.
So you can create a cursorset in any color you like, add a different shadow,
make them transparent or whatever....
________________________________________
Installation:
As root:
Extract the file, copy the cursorset you want to /usr/share/icons/

As user:
Extract the file, copy the cursorset you want to ~.icons/
Edit ~.icons/default/index.theme in this way:

Thank you :)
But the installation guide is not full. If one tries to install the theme as the default theme this way (in order to use it in qt applications, login screen, etc), this may cause errors in some distributions. Here is the
CORRECT AND SAFE CURSORS INSTALLATION GUIDE:
su
mkdir /usr/share/icons/3dcolor
cp -r ~/path/cursors /usr/share/icons/3dcolor
echo "[Icon Theme]" > /usr/share/icons/3dcolor/index.theme
echo "Name=3dcolor" >> /usr/share/icons/3dcolor/index.theme
mkdir /etc/X11/cursors
cp /usr/share/icons/3dcolor/index.theme /etc/X11/cursors/3dcolor.theme
echo "Inherits=3dcolor" >> /etc/X11/cursors/3dcolor.theme
rm /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme
ln -s /etc/X11/cursors/3dcolor.theme /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme
rm /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
ln -s /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
exit

Write a config file for your cursor that looks like this:
32 0 0 cursor.png
#cursor size=32
#xhot=0
#yhot=0
#image file=cursor.png
Save the file as cursor.conf and run
xcursorgen cursor.conf left_ptr
and there you have your pointer cursor.
There's an excelent cursor-howto by uga included in this package:

I just followed the user level install instruction to make them work. I don't know about rpm for RedHat 8.0. My only RedHat experience is with the Server v7.0 and there we don't use XFree86.

No RPM's for RH8.0 available yet AFAIK.
Just build it from the source tarballs.
I did on my RH8.0 system, without any problems :)

BTW - no problem with the unpacking. Though, I know some of the browsers do unzip the file without changing the file name, mine does not.

exact error I get is the ever discriptive and helpful "not in gzip format."
Yay for errors :). Any help?

I downloaded the file and it extracted just fine.
did you try:
gzip -d 5271-3dcolor.tar.gz
tar xvf 5271-3dcolor.tar
or:
tar xvfz 5271-3dcolor.tar.gz
or try using Ark
Hope any of these methods will
help you.
