Xcursor doesn't predate PNG. Heck, it came alongside a tool, xcursorgen, that could be used to process pngs and generate the binary cursor files. Xcursor appeared somewhere around 2002-2003 as an extension of Xrender. Before that X had monochrome cursors. There are some legacy X specifics in the theme format that would necessitate something more modern. IIRC, Xrender used a hash of hard-coded X pixmaps to find the cursor files to match. That's why some of the filenames are a long string of hex digits. The rest are predefined X cursor names. |
