Obsidian Cursors
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
Description:
Obsidian Cursors is a shiny and clean cursor set created in Inkscape based upon my previous Polar Cursor Theme.
Installation
Either install through whatever means your desktop's theme settings has or simply extract the archive to ~/.icons/
In GNOME, to select the theme, click the customize button in the Appearance prefferences application. Then go to the pointer tab and select the theme.
Note
KDE users please note that installing the theme through the control center can cause some cursors to use the default X cursors. To fix this simply extract the theme directly to ~/.icons/
Enjoy!

I really like this mouse cursor icon, but I noticed that when you put the mouse over something on Firefox and then click a link and it goes back to the arrow, where ever the hand was located on the browser, when it changes from the hand to the arrow it jerks, meaning the motion of just changing from hand to arrow isn't smooth and it doesn't happen in the same spot.
where ever you place the hand, when it's changing from the hand to the arrow it should change in that spot and not move but it doesn't. For me it jerks, moves over to the right a little as it's changing and for me it's bothersome to my eyes, makes them feel like they are acting up, seeing something jiggle around.
I hope possibly the developer is still around and this can be fixed.
THANKS

The thing I want to ask is that is there anyway to remove the circle
i.e. waiting cursor.
It is very disturbing as it is always going round and round. Open nautilus, ubuntu startup, and sometime even when any background system service is starting/running :(
Any help as to remove the waiting cursor would be very helpful. I really dislike waiting thing. It makes me think "feel" that linux is slow.
waiting for a reply..

The other thing I'd like to be able to do is to install it as the default system cursor...
compiz creates errors, and sometimes the only way to get it to show is to do metacity --replace. It seems the cursors aren't loved by compiz!
can you advise how to set this so it works every time?

I had the problem that the cursor changed to the default X-cursor theme for some applications, like Skype, Kile,... I am using OpenSuse 11.0 and I changed in the sysconfig (in YAST2 go to 'system' and select 'etc/sysconfig Editor') Desktop/X_MOUSE_CURSOR from default value (DMZ in my case) to Obsidian. I restarted not just logged in/out. Now it works! :-) Don't know other distros but I am sure there is a similar way to fix that problem.
