I'm looking at /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursors, and there is:
$ tree -s /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/

... a bunch of files without extension, that GIMP cannot open.
Is there an editor where these files can be opened - or at least a converter to something like .png? I can note that ImageMagick display also failed to open these files...
Found also Gursor Maker - Cursor Editor for X11/GTK+; got the CVS code from SourceForge - it still uses Numeric (the old name of numpy), so to run it, you'll have to do:
#from Numeric import *
from numpy import *
... in xcurio.py, curxp.py, gimp.py, colorfunc.py - and comment the #from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2 in lsproj.py. With that, I got it running 11.04:
... but cannot get any files to open? So I thought I should grep for paths, nothing much came up - and when I looked into cursordefs.py, I simply had to paste this:
CURSOR_ICON = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data([
"10 16 3 1",
" c None",
". c #000000",
"+ c #FFFFFF",
".. ",
".+. ",
".++. ",
".+++. ",
".++++. ",
".+++++. ",
".++++++. ",
".+++++++. ",
".++++++++.",
".+++++....",
".++.++. ",
".+. .++. ",
".. .++. ",
" .++. ",
" .++. ",
" .. "])
Heh :) In any case, doesn't look like it will be much usable on newer Ubuntus, unfortunately...
Just tested XMC plugin as well - on 11.04, has to be built from source (from the link in the accepted answer); the requirements on my system resolved to:
sudo apt-get install libgimp2.0-dev libglib2.0-0-dbg libglib2.0-0-refdbg libglib2.0-cil-dev libgtk2.0-0-dbg libgtk2.0-cil-dev
... after that, the configure/make procedure in the INSTALL file works. Note that this plugin is a bit "sneaky":
... that is, you should use "All files" (as there are no extensions); cursor previews at first will not be rendered. Then open one cursor file; after it has been opened, then there is a preview in the File/Open dialog; but other than that, it works fine...
