I made some pretty simple cursor updates i hacked togather from the icons.svg. (see attachment )
Are the tool Cursors customisable like the Tool Icons? If so do the use the same SVG file? What do i set there ID's too?
If not what format do i convert to. and how to install them?
Thanks Josh Blocher aka verbalshadow

No, unfortunately, cursors are quite different. They are stored in src/pixmaps in bitmap format. No SVG, no antialiasing, b/w only. It is however still possible to improve them, and we need to make cursors for those tools that still don't have them (pen/pencil/calligraphic), so any help is welcome.
To install them, I think you need to add/replace the files in that directory, make sure the c++ files reference them correctly, and recompile.

Actually this format can be edited in a text editor (which is what I prefer), no need to run Gimp.

Can't find your "drawing_pixels_in_emacs.svg" tutorial in CVS HEAD of Inkscape :) Is it already committed? :)

ok here they are and yes using a text editor is so much easier. I don't really like the calligraphy tool icon that i made that much, so someone feel free to make a better one.

Good, can you please submit them to the patch tracker? We'll probably deal with them after the release. An added bonus if you also sumit patch for the *-context.cpp files to use these cursors :)

Why just b/w without antialias? My standard Debian cursors by Jimmac use grayscale and alpha channel. That'd be a lot nicer than a b/w/transparent kinda cursor. Furthermore: why not use the gimp cursors, that just add a image to the bottom left of the standard cursor. This would be less work and more consistent.
Just my two pence.

I really don't know. I just described what we currently have. I have no idea how to go from the current configuration to grayscale/alpha cursors. Is there anyone knowledgeable in this area?
