Starcraft Cursor Theme

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

For those of you who have been looking for this and not found it, here it is! Starcraft themed cursors. It's a fairly simple theme that only includes the most frequently used cursors. Most of these cursors are animated just as they are in the game. I'll keep adding cursors to the theme as I come up with them. Open to suggestions as well. Enjoy!

Last changelog:

1.3 - added a hydralisk animation that shows up when grabbing windows, etc.
1.2 - added an Ibeam cursor.
1.1 - slowed down the animation speed for the main pointer by changing the framerate and adding an extra frame. Double checked it with the in-game pointer, and it's almost exact now.

Just installed this on Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon 4.0 by copying the sc-cursors directory into /usr/share/icons and was able to switch to it by using the native Themes control panel app under "Mouse Pointer". I do not want any other cursor except the regular animated pointer itself so was able to use only that cursor by deleting everything else in the cursors directory except left_ptr and left_ptr_watch.

How do you install this? Throwing it into ~/.icons doesn't do anything. D:

well I compressed it into an archive that your system should recognize as a theme when you point to it. here's how I installed it: System > Preferences > Appearance > Theme > click "install". And when you browse for a theme to install, point it to the archive. It will automatically extract it to ~/.icons for you and ask if you want to switch to that theme. If you go to the pointer tab under "customize" (the button next to "install"), it should appear there next to the other pointer themes. Sorry about the confusion. I hope this clarifies things.
