icon-slicer is a utility for generating icon themes and libXcursor cursor
themes.
The inputs to icon-slicer are conceptually:
A) a set of multi-layer images, one for each size
B) a 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.
