1 icon-slicer is a utility for generating icon themes and libXcursor cursor
4 The inputs to icon-slicer are conceptually:
5 A) a set of multi-layer images, one for each size
6 B) a XML theme description file
8 Each image contains all the cursors arranged in a grid; for cursors the
10 - a layer with a dot for the hotspot of each cursor
11 - the main image or first animation frame for multi-frame animated cursors
12 - the second animation frame for multi-frame animated cursors
14 For icons, the layers are:
15 - a layer with the images
16 - an optional layer with attachment points for emblems
17 - an optional layer with boxes for embedding text into icons
19 In practice, since loading of multilayer images is not supported by standard
20 image libraries, each layer is input as a separate image file.
