Sharp-edged (as in non-blurry) X11 cursor theme. Based on original core cursors appearance, in two sizes (24 and 32 px) which work well for screens around 100 to 150 DPI. See the included README for details.

Patches and Tweaks

nedit-classic-xft.tar.xz (Updated Oct 09 2021)

Tweaked NEdit (the one with Motif GUI). Antialiased text with Xft (build with: "make linux-xft" or "make freebsd-xft"), and other minor tweaks. Note that fonts set in an existing ~/.nedit/nedit.rc are XLFDs and will not be loaded properly, hence XFT style (name-size[:attribute]) names need to be specified in the Preferences->Text Fonts... dialog (there is no browser yet).

dticon.tar.xz (Updated Feb 16 2023)

A stand-alone and somewhat modified version of CDE's dticon pixmap editor. It's the only pixmap editor with the support for Motif's palette of symbolic colors and hot spots, hence handy for making GUI graphics and mouse pointers.

GLwMDrawA.tar.xz (Updated Mar 18 2018)

SGI's OpenGL widget (GLwMDrawingArea) for Motif. Is it still distributed with Mesa? Anyhow... here it is.

CDE Utilities

cde-icons.tar.xz (Updated Oct 09 2021)

A set of generic file-type and application icons adhering to the CDE spec.

dtgtkrcgen.xz (Never Updated)

Uses the active CDE color scheme to generate a GTK+2 gtkrc file (doesn't do anything for GTK3 and later, obviously).

dtwinlist.tar.xz (Never Updated)

Solaris' sdtwinlst clone (works on CDE only, and I haven't looked at the code for ages).
