# Capitaine cursors
This is an x-cursor theme inspired by macOS and based on KDE Breeze.
The source files were made in Inkscape, and the theme was designed to pair well with my icon pack, [La Capitaine][la-capitaine-icons].[la-capitaine-icons]: https://github.com/keeferrourke/la-capitaine-icon-theme
This cursor should scale appropriately for any display resolution.
## Supported DPIs
This cursor pack aims to support all [named pixel densities][named-dpi].
[named-dpi]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_density#Named_pixel_densities
| Name | Build option name | Rendered density (DPI) | Scale |
| :------ | :---------------- | :--------------------- | :------------- |
| LODPI | `-d lo` | 96-144 | x1, 1.25, x1.5 |
| TVDPI | `-d tv` (default) | 192 | x2 |
| HDPI | `-d hd` | 240 | x2.5 |
| XHDPI | `-d xhd` | 288 | x3 |
| XXHDPI | `-d xxhd` | 384-480 | x4, x5 |
| XXXHDPI | `-d xxxhd` | 576+ | x6, x10 |## Building from source
Building from source can take a really long time, depending on the max specified DPI.
Pre-built packages are available for download.That said, you'll find everything you need to build and modify this cursor set in the `src/` directory.
Make sure `inkscape` and `xcursorgen` are installed
```
sudo apt install inkscape x11-apps # Debian, Ubuntu based distros
sudo dnf install inkscape xorg-x11-apps # Fedora, EPEL based distros
brew cask install xquartz inkscape # macOS
```Then run the provided script:
```
./build.sh
```This will generate the pixmaps and appropriate aliases.
The freshly compiled cursor theme will be located in the `dist/` folder.The script has a few options described below:
| Option | Values | Description |
| :----- | :-------------- | :------------------------------ |
| `-p` | `unix`, `win32` | Build for BSD/Linux, or Windows |
| `-t` | `dark`, `light` | Choose the variant to build |
| `-d` | See DPIs | Set the max DPI to render |*Note: building the win32 cursors from source is not currently supported, but it is on the roadmap.
