default xcursor (Human, Jimmac) files missing

Thanks for your bug report. Which version of Ubuntu do you use? Where can I see the 'missing pointers'?

Sorry for the delay. This "bug" was reported under Breezy and Dapper with orginal Ubuntu theme.

Under Gnome, when i move a window an arrow (+) appears.
Under KDE, it's a hand and i think that's more logical.

So i guess one or many cursors are not assigned under Gnome.

I am confident that's just a cosmetic "problem" but I wanted let you know about this.

Best regards,

Here is a screenshot from the original Jimmac's theme used by Ubuntu as default (Human theme)
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=28281&file1=28281-1.png&file2=&file3=&name=Jimmac0

The mysterious + when dragging a window seems to come from another theme (Neutral theme)
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=28310&file1=28310-1.png&file2=&file3=&name=Neutral

I hope my explanations are helpfull.

Best regards,

Probably needs to be looked at in Dapper+1

Does anybody know where to get these icons in a tarball?

If you look at this page (from the author)
http://jimmac.musichall.cz/themes.php?skin=7 you can see the whole icons Jimmac has made for the cursor theme.

I tried to know which file(s) is not properly configured in /usr/share/icons/Human/cursors but I am not able to locate where the configuration file is.

I wrote to Jimmac and here is his answer:
"It appears the theme on ubuntu misses some symlinks or perhaps doesn't
use the cursors for a reason. The best thing is to file a bug in
ubuntu's bugzilla so it's dealt with appropriately. You can cc: me on
the bug so I can eventually provide the missing artwork."

You can contact him at this address:
jimmac AT ximian com

Hope this help, have a nice day.

Daniel, this looks like a useful offer from Jimmac, could you touch base
with him on this?

Jeff contacted Jakub already and I'm working on it.

Have this been resolved with the cursor theme on Dapper 6.06 LTS?

It appears to still be broken in Dapper 6.06 LTS.

Is this ok with industrial-cursor-theme?

This appears fixed in the default them of current Edgy.

it's fine now under Edgy with default-cursors-theme and with industrial one.

Many thanks

Thanks for following up.

there is more than the window-grab icon missing. you dont have any dnd cursors too.

luckily jimmac just released a new version of the industrial cursors which is pretty complete:
http://jimmac.musichall.cz/themes.php?skin=7

btw: why are there 2 packages, {human, industrial}-cursor-theme containing the same files?

Does industrial-cursor-theme contain those icons you are talking about? If it does, we should evaluate and probably switch to it (and drop human-cursors-theme).

For the new cursor theme, please refer to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UniverseCandidates

As described in the previous comments, your report lacks the information we need to investigate the problem further. We'll close this report for now - please reopen it if you can give us the missing information.

I believe the default xcursor theme Human as well as Jimmac are not complete under Ubuntu.
- True
Thanks for your bug report. Which version of Ubuntu do you use? Where can I see the 'missing pointers'?
- Ubuntu 7.04, Gnome 2.18.1
it's fine now under Edgy with default-cursors-theme and with industrial one.
- Not under Feisty with default-cursor theme and with Human.

The Human theme which Ubuntu uses standard is not complete under Feisty. I've compared to the Vanilla theme mentioned here and Human is missing more than 40 cursors.
I reopened this bug because Ubuntu should standard not use an incomplete theme.
It looks ugly if your cursor changes to another theme suddenly.

As far as I can see this is fixed in Gutsy, can anyone confirm this?

yep, corrected in Gutsy

Fixed for me in Gutsy

Changing status to "Fix Released", this has been fixed since Ubuntu 7.10.

This bug has been fixed in Gutsy, but since Baltix is still based on dapper (according to the active milestone section on https://launchpad.net/baltix), so the bug in Baltix can be fixed when they move to Hardy.

Baltix 4.2 is based on Jaunty.
