Generate cursors OS agnostic
albfan opened this issue · comments
Problem
cursor generation depends on xcursorgen, heavily dependant on x11 (linux only). There's an alternative that generates cursor based on python, used by adwaita theme:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/blob/40.0/src/cursors/anicursorgen.py
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/adwaita-icon-theme/-/blob/40.0/src/cursors/pngs/make-w32.sh#L3
Input files are the same .in
Proposal
Replace xcursorgen with anicursorgen.py
Prior Art
Adwaita gtk theme
This will fix elementary icon theme for msys2 (windows): msys2/MINGW-packages#8505 (comment)
As explained in the README, these icons are for elementary OS. I'm not really interested in maintaining a script for generating cursors in this repo. If this script becomes packaged then I would accept a PR to change out the dependency, but I really don't have any interest in doing work for Windows
@jbicha probably can help to package for ubuntu. I contact @LRN about migrated script used here msys2/MINGW-packages#8575
