Another example of how to use xcur2png
In this entry, I will show you how to change color(hue) of arbitrary X11 mouse cursor by using xcur2png. You need to install ImageMagick and xcursorgen (included in xorg-x11-apps package on Fedora) on ahead.
Golden XCursor 3D is one of the most beautiful cursor I've ever seen. But it have been left for about five years, and there is no way to get source images from original author.
So I'm going to change the color of Golden XCursor 3D to red.
Now you can select redly recolored Golden XCursor 3D in Appearance Preference dialog.
