change default XCursor color

Hi

I have openbox running with a URxvt terminal on the desktop, the foreground colour is orange.

If the cursor is within the URxvt window, the cursor colour changes to the orange used as foreground, the same is true for the xterm window which uses the same foreground settings in .Xdefaults like URxvt.

So, i was wondering if i can apply this behaviour somehow globally to X and openbox, it looks rather nice with the orange cursor!

So long ...

Re: change default XCursor color

Maybe you could manually change the icons for your current cursor theme ? Just a few minutes with gimp should do the trick.
