The project is very old and is no longer in development.
In 15 years a lot has changed on linux and I don't think these cursors are more usable on modern versions of Xorg or Wayland.

Fortunately still in the repos (pacman). Maybe I'll put them on my profile.

It would go perfect with both full-white and full-black themes...

I really like this theme, I've used it for years on KDE 3.x.
Now I'm moving to KDE 4, and when I install the theme, only a few of the theme cursors are used, others remain in the default theme.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks.

The cursor were there is the arrow AND the watch seems to be missing, so that gnome switches to the other one instead.
