To do
  • Serious code clean up! (I reckon it is very dirty now)
  • Documentation
  • Finish the things cited above which are not fully completed
Notes I would like to ask people who would have ideas, suggestions and comments on usability and interface issues to feel free posting their views on the forum.

Nosy people will notice that the current code contains a function to write cursors directly without using xcursorgen. However, it is not used by the export function, which still depends on xcursorgen. As a matter of fact, my function is about 4 times slower than the tool provided with X11! Damn C!
