X mouse cursor change
 

slack9.1,using fluxbox, how do I change the default mouse pointer from a little black arrow to something else like a crosshair?

I tried changing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme:
in there there's a line:
Inherits=core
I changed that to another theme name, but mouse color changed, but not its shape
what do I have to add or change to select a different pointer?

xsetroot -cursor_name top_left_arrow

Something like that. I needed that for ctwm and stuck it in my .xinitrc. I forget what the crosshair is called - maybe

xsetroot -cursor_name crosshair

Yeah -

include/X11/cursorfont.h:#define XC_crosshair 34

That should work.
