# Numix Cursor Theme
A cursor theme based on icons from the [Numix icon theme](https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme). Code and assets licensed GPL v3+.
## Installing
Download and extract the [latest release](https://github.com/numixproject/numix-cursor-theme/releases/latest) from GitHub. Then copy the `Numix-Cursor` and `Numix-Cursor-Light` folders to `/usr/share/icons`. Set the cursor theme using either your system settings or a terminal as follows:
```bash
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'Numix-Cursor{-Light}'
```
For system-wide change run the following:
```bash
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme x-cursor-theme /usr/share/icons/Numix-Cursor{-Light}/cursor.theme 55
sudo update-alternatives --set x-cursor-theme /usr/share/icons/Numix-Cursor{-Light}/cursor.theme
```
Restart or log out and back in for the changes to take effect.
## Building
To build the themes from source you'll need [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/) (v1.1 or above) and [xcursorgen](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/man1/xcursorgen.1.html) installed. Then run the following in a terminal:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/numixproject/numix-cursor-theme.git
cd numix-cursor-theme/
./build.sh
```
The respective cursor icons are then generated and saved to both the `Numix-Cursor{-Light}` folders.
