Polar 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
Polar Cursor Theme is a smooth and simple cursor set created primarily in Inkscape.
****Installation****
There are three cursor sets included in this package. The default with the orange busy cursors is called PolarCursorTheme and the blue and green variants have -Blue and -Green added to the end of their theme name. To make sure that all themes are installed (or only the one you want) extract to /.icons/ in your home folder.
****Note****
KDE users please note that installing the cursors through the control center can cause some cursors to use the default X cursors. To fix this simply extract the theme directly to /.icons/ in your home folder.
Finally a special thanks to all the authors of various cursor themes here on gnome-look.org for ideas.
Enjoy!

First : bravo for the theme, its a high quality theme and a very pretty design.
Second : there is obviously a lake of cursors : especially for Gimp tools. Are you gonna make this tools cursors ?

Then open up the gnome configuration editor (gconf-editor) and go to desktop>gnome>peripherals>mouse and change the cursor_theme key value to PolarCursorTheme. Finally you'll need to log out and restart X before the changes will take affect.
Now there is a program that will do this for you called gcursor available at http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=125 with it you can install a cursor theme just like you would a GTK or Metacity theme.
Hope this helps.

How do you install a mouse theme in gnome at all? ;-)
Thanks a lot!

I mean, instead of rendering a cursor respecting the theme I see a horrible black arrow with a tiny watch aside.
I guess this cursor belongs to the minimal default theme of the system (KDE3.3 on Slackware10.1).
Would you mind tell me how override that with YOUR "loading cursor"?
