win2xcur

win2xcur is a tool that converts cursors from Windows format (*.cur, *.ani) to Xcursor format. This allows Windows cursor themes to be used on Linux, for example.

win2xcur is more than a simple image conversion tool. It preserves the cursor hotspot and animation delay, and has an optional mode to add shadows that replicates Windows's cursor shadow effect.

Installation

To install the latest stable version:

pip install win2xcur

To install from GitHub:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/quantum5/win2xcur.git

Usage

For example, if you want to convert the sample cursor:

mkdir output/
win2xcur sample/crosshair.cur -o output/

-s can be specified to enable shadows. Multiple cursors files can be specified on the command line. For example, to convert a directory of cursors with shadows enabled:

win2xcur input/*.{ani,cur} -o output/

For more information, run win2xcur --help.
