I'm looking at /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursors, and there is:



$ tree -s /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/

... a bunch of files without extension, that GIMP cannot open.



Is there an editor where these files can be opened - or at least a converter to something like .png? I can note that ImageMagick display also failed to open these files.

The cursor files uses X11 cursor type of files:



$ file /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursors/hand2
/usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursors/hand2: X11 cursor


GIMP plugin



You need a plugin to edit cursors files with GIMP called "X11 Mouse Cursor (XMC) plug-in" which you can find here.



The X tool



You can also create your own PNG images and transform them to cursors files using "Xcursorgen" which can be found in the x11-apps package.



Third party



Gursor Maker is a front end for xcursorgen.
