Description-en: utility for generating icon themes and libXcursor cursor themes
The inputs to icon-slicer are conceptually:
.
- A set of multi-layer images, one for each size
- Am XML theme description file
.
Each image contains all the cursors arranged in a grid; For cursors the
layers are:
.
- A layer with a dot for the hotspot of each cursor
- The main image or first animation frame for multi-frame animated
cursors
- The second animation frame for multi-frame animated cursors
- ...
.
For icons, the layers are:
.
- A layer with the images
- An optional layer with attachment points for emblems
- An optional layer with boxes for embedding text into icons
.
In practice, since loading of multilayer images is not supported by
standard image libraries, each layer is input as a separate image file.
.
The theme description file contains, among other things, information
about the source images to read, the location of each named cursor or
icon within the grid, and a set of aliases from names to other names.
