# Vimix cursors
This is an x-cursor theme inspired by Materia design and
based on [capitaine-cursors](https://github.com/keeferrourke/capitaine-cursors).

## Installation
To install the cursor theme simply copy the compiled theme to your icons
directory. For local user installation:

```
./install.sh
```

For system-wide installation for all users:

```
sudo ./install.sh
```

Then set the theme with your preferred desktop tools.

### Windows

The Windows build comes with an INF file to make installation easy.

1. Open `.windows/` folder in Explorer, and right click on `install.inf`.
1. Click 'Install' from the context menu, and authorise the modifications to your system.
1. Press the `Windows Key and R` at the same time and type `main.cpl` in the run promt and press `Ok`.
1. Go to `Pointers` and select `Vimix Cursors` under the Scheme category.
1. Click 'Apply'.

## Building from source
You'll find everything you need to build and modify this cursor set in
the `src/` directory. To build the xcursor theme from the SVG source
run:

```
./build.sh
```

This will generate the pixmaps and appropriate aliases.
The freshly compiled cursor theme will be located in `dist/`
