How to change mouse cursor theme @ gdm login window [Solved]

[jayseye]

GIMP 2.6.11 is the latest binary package available for Salix 13.37. Today I quite literally dusted off an old laptop for testing with Slackel Openbox, and I see that the KDE version comes with gimp-2.8.2.

So after a few hours of hard drive testing & upgrading, .ISO downloading, and installation, I'll check for the gimp cursor import plugin there. It would be interesting to know what gave them the needed "boot up the backside" on your PC, knome

@Tim Cowchip: Wonderful utility lxappearance, thank you! In addition to displaying all the cursor themes, it automatically previews each one as you highlight it...

I'd hesitated at first, assuming it would have too many dependencies; though in fact they were already fully satisfied in Salix Fluxbox 13.37. Plus, lxappearance is truly a lazy person's way to control other aspects of Fluxbox. This little gem deserves recognition as a hidden treasure.

It's not only for people who run Fluxbox. If you run apps that has gtk themes, but not running a DE, and would like to change the appearance (for example, the "text beside the icons" option for toolbars, this is the simplest way.

For people using Openbox, there is also lxappearance-obconf which merges obconf into lxappearance, so you have one unified configuration setup.
