πŸ“Œ A .CURSOR format basement corresponds to the custom predefined cursor methodology applied and opened up by KDE Plasma, a graphical desktop shell ordinarily employed alongside Linux environment. Precisely, the following extension schema includes plain text content that identifies an image a custom cursor would apply, the marked hotspot coordinates, and the default resolution of the image. By referencing xcursorgen command-line utility, KDE Plasma users would be capable of generating a specific cursor-based indicator from a relevant associated file instance. Regarding KDE Plasma, it can be sparingly described as a graphical workspace shell accessible for various platforms. Quite frequently, KDE Plasma system branch is employed alongside diverse Linux architectures, in order to provide a GUI for those operating environments. As an advanced, complementary option, KDE Plasma community members may apply, open, and generate custom cursors, which supersede the default object assignments of a proper desktop environment. In order to define those resources, users would first initialize them in a sole or one of the several suggested .CURSOR entity structures. Each of the aforementioned file records generally includes:

  • a digital marker which identifies the default resolution of the specific cursor image
  • an X Y coordinates which recognize the cursor’s hotspot (where exactly the click action occurs)
  • a proper file path to an image which serves as the specific image of the suggested cursor schema.

Finally, KDE Plasma users may also apply the xcursorgen console instruction and their associated branch samples to compose and build actual custom cursor files. After a fresh, newer set of custom cursor instances is created, users ordinarily store them all in a single cursors sub-folder, allocated in scope of the initially predefined cursor-related theme installation folder.
