Cursors dark shadow simple transparent
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://gitlab.com/obnosim/ardoise
Ardoise is a simple, dark and flat theme. All cursors have the same shape, only the symbol changes.
Available resolutions are 24, 32, 48 and 72 px.
Update: fixed the 100-no-shadow archive which was previously empty.

Reworked shadows for cleaner edges
17/02/15
moved to GitHub
all previous variants are now also available with shadows
the dark border at the bottom of the cursor was removed
18/01/15
added a more translucent variant, similar to previous versions. Thanks to janet.
31/10/14
fixed a visual regression in Wait cursor (the axis of rotation was slightly off-center and the symbol was poorly positioned).
27/10/14
improved uniformity (some symbols had a different opacity)
added Ardoise_opaque theme
added a script to regenerate files from source
06/09/14
slight alignment fix on up_arrow and col_resize
01/08/14
added link to source files and reduced file size
30/07/14
additional fixes, thanks again to dabbill
27/07/14
fixed some legacy symlinks that were mixed up, thanks to dabbill.
25/07/14
added ClosedHand cursor and markitos66 added legacy symlinks. The theme should now work properly on Gnome and other DEs.
18/07/14
all cursors have been completely redrawn, keeping the original appearance but with a slight alteration to make them look better on bright backgrounds. The Wait cursor is now clockwise.

Simple and sleek, the best cursor I've seen. The fact that the bonus icons are inside the cursor and don't change its silhouette/point location is so innovative and nice! 10/10

If you want to do that, you will need git, Inkscape >= 1.0 (it won't work with earlier versions) and xcursorgen.
Clone the code and go to the 'assets' folder:
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/obnosim/ardoise.git ardoise
$ cd ardoise/assets
Edit the file 'custom.replace' to give it the color values you want. To change the color of the cursor body, edit the values 'bodyGradientStart' and 'bodyGradientEnd'.
Then, generate the theme (still from the 'assets' folder):
$ ./regenerate custom
This will use the values in 'custom.replace' to produce a new file in the parent folder: 'Ardoise (custom).tar.gz'. You can then extract this archive either in '~/.local/share/icons' or in '/usr/share/icons', then select it from System Settings > Cursors.

I can look into making it easy to customize so you can select the color you want.

And can you please add a pirate cursor? Something like this maybe (that's the Breeze pirate on Ardoise cursor): http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/pirate72ews8yncfkx.png

I could create Ardoise versions if it's a problem (see my answer to your previous comment).

But I can make a more translucent one, no problem. Take a look at translucent.svg in the sources and tell me what % you would like. It's applied to the groups that contain the edge and the background, and it's currently set to 87.5%.

Here are the two left_ptr files, I prefer the translucency of the "org" one. If you don't trust your eyes use cmp ;) - they really differ. http://kerridis.de/temp/ardoise-old-new.tar.gz

I think you were right about the change coming from the way the elements were layered. The 87.5% multiplier was incorrectly applied twice on some cursors and at some point I fixed it.

So, you're keeping on updating this theme? Glad to see that. And why don't you put your little thing on something like gist or github or something similar? It will be easy to to update and provide reliable download links and homepage. (Nah, dropbox archive with no version string is terrible.)
I can help you set up such a thing if you so desire. I took a look on the src tarball and that bash script is terrible as well. I can write a proper makefile if ever you had some place to get contributions... You do not need to use inkscape for conversion. You can start using convert (inkscape depends on it and does probably send your cmdline to it) and it's really a powerfull cmdline utility. There maybe some light weight utility out there to convert image rather than ImageMagick but it's another story.
Let me know if you need help to set up a proper project repository.

If you want help, with a pleasure I can help you. Only send me a private message, and a link to the icons source, either png or svg format.
Thanks,
