## icon-slicer
icon-slicer is a utility for generating icon themes and libXcursor cursor themes.
The inputs to icon-slicer are conceptually:
* 1 A set of multi-layer images, one for each size. 2 A XML theme description file
Each image contains all the cursors arranged in a grid; For cursors the layers are:
* A layer with a dot for the hotspot of each cursor
* The main image or first animation frame for multi-frame animated cursors
* The second animation frame for multi-frame animated cursors
* ...
For icons, the layers are:
* A layer with the images
* An optional layer with attachment points for emblems
* An optional layer with boxes for embedding text into icons.
In practice, since loading of multilayer images is not supported by standard image libraries, each layer is input as a separate image file.
The theme description file contains, among other things, information about the source images to read, the location of each named cursor or icon within the grid, and a set of aliases from names to other names.
Compiling icon slicer requires [[GTK+-2.x|ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.2/]] (for gdk-pixbuf) and [[popt|ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-4.2.x/]] to compile.
### CVS
The [[CVS|GettingInvolved]] module for this spec is "icon-slicer".
### Documentation
The [[README|http://freedesktop.org/software/icon-slicer/README]] file contains information about the file format, and command line invocation.
