It seems people are taking about all cursors, netscapes's, fvwm's and the
root window's.
There isn't any way in fvwm2 to change any of fvwm's curors. When I wanted a
different cursor for my title bar buttons I had to change the code in the
function CreateCursors in fvwm.c. It would seem like a good idea, and
something twm and maybe fvwm1 do, to let the user specify the cursors to
use.o
Right now there is just a bunch of lines like:
Scr.FvwmCursors[DEFAULT] = XCreateFontCursor(dpy, XC_top_left_arrow);
It should be possible to change the XC_top_left_arrow to something else.
Of course this doesn't solve the problem that fvwm's cursors don't effect
netscape, or xterm, or any other program. So if you want to mirror all the
arrows you either have to reconfigure every program (which is easier than
it sounds because many programs would be reconfigured by changing one
resource), or change the cursor font. Changing the cursor font is kind of
a kludge, but would be easiest.
