Animated cursors in linux KDE

[tombert]

Hi all,

I figured out how to use animated cursors in windows - which is pretty
easy:
> . configure -cursor @<filename.ani>

For the moment I'am stuck doing similar things in Suse KDE:
> . configure -cursor @/usr/share/icons/DMZ/cursors/watch
error "bad cursor spec"

> . configure -cursor {@/usr/share/icons/DMZ/cursors/watch white}
error "cleanup reading bitmap file"

> . configure -cursor {@/usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/images/gnus/gnus.xbm red}
error "bad hot spot in bitmap file"

... google does not offer help ... any ideas welcome ...

thx

Short answer: you can't. At least vanilla Tk can't do that on unix.
See http://wiki.tcl.tk/8674 and the documentation of Tk_GetCursor.

Thx very much ... I wonder why this hasn't been included in Tk already
as it looks so simple ...
I'll try to make a Tcl package.

See http://wiki.tcl.tk/27678 for a simple (but effective) solution.
