Description:

TheDOT is a Mouse Theme for gnome with circles. It doesn't have a right or left arrow. Which can be unusual but ergonomic for someone.

To install it, just place individual cursor theme directories into corresponding directory in your distro.
For example in Mint it is /usr/share/icons .

This is a derivative of an unmaintained orginal TheDOT https://www.gnome-look.org/p/999763/

I really liked the idea and improved this a bit.
Also the old one could crash the settings, here I managed to fix this too.

Dissasembled with https://github.com/eworm-de/xcur2png
(poor img quality, for images had to use https://github.com/alessandrofrancesconi/gimp-plugin-bimp)

I have used this for two years now and can't go back to pointy cursors. Just want to say thank for forking this great theme.

Same here :)
Sure, it's just a matter of getting used to, but still symmetrical cursor feels good.

Great theme but whenever I hover over something like a link my cursor changes to my old one

Maybe, just maybe you should have restarted your desktop? I'm not sure but I think it happened to me too and I had to log out from gnome.

9 +PROS: Very original. Very useable. Very attractive. Added to rotation with Comix and Chameleon cursors. -CON: doesn't respond to custom sizing (Mouse and Touchpad setting).

Yes, it should be redrawn to new sizes to allow resizing

Absolutely brilliant, I love it. The only thing I would suggest is that the loading cursors are a bit to busy and doesn't need the "sunrays". But again, brilliant and I hope we'll see more crosshair cursors in the future and good luck making one better than this :)

I modified these cursors with Gimp to change the grey to transparent. I used the magic wand tool and the DEL button.

Nice variant

Nazgand

I would like it if you packaged my variant with yours.
I suggest modifying the cursor.theme, index.theme files so they no longer say the version is 0.3.

MurKit

Yeah lets package it!
Forgot about version in .theme

When i try to move a window from one workspace to another on gnome-shell, it crashes.
This does not happened when i don't use TheDOT cursor

You miss the dnd-none file.
That's why gnome-shell crashes.
with ln -s ./circle ./dnd-none everything works perfect.

MurKit

Added dnd cursors! And the rest of missing links.
