Since DSL is working towards having its own theme, wouldn't it be a good idea to include this, or osme modified version of it, in the default distribution.

I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of Elephanter or not, but as long as that's what the DSL team has settled on it makes sense to make as much of the default desktop match as possible.

Simple Cursor Change

While i haven't succeeded in using any of the more complex xfree cursors in DSL's Xvesa server (yet), there is a way to make a quick change to the cursor displayed on the root window using the default cursor file.  Most of them are not very usable as a generic cursor, but i sometimes like to use a heart or circle once in a while.  It's also useful if you run a minimal window manager that doesn't give you anything but the big ol' X

You can set the root cursor with this command:
Code Sample
xsetroot -cursor_name <name>

where <name> is a name from the list below.
Fluxbox and JWM automatically set the root cursor, so you will
need to run the command manually after the windowmanager loads.

X_cursor

based_arrow_down
based_arrow_up
