Here is my static custom Bilbo Baggins window cursor, coverted for X11. It is Bilbo from the 1977 television special The Hobbit by Rankin/Bass.
It is very basic, just the single image applied to all mouse conditions. I may go back into it and customize some of the alternate images like hand, hand1 and hand2 etc.

Now 20 conkys across 10 categories!! All conkys are independent and modular - run the ones you like.
You can customize the terminator map to sun-centered so the map moves, or set to false and the terminator line moves. Plus the map highlights your location lat/lon from the .env file.
Please star the repo if you like the conky scripts. Enjoy!
More GUI control!
I have bash scripts that automate the skinning and positioning of my audacious player for different workspace GUI color schemes, and some months or a year ago I tried to get a bot script to automate changing/setting the playlist font to match the fonts I assigned to my conkys and desktop elements. It never worked but today I put the script to another bot and asked why this one didnt work when the reskinner did, and the bot spat out a working edit. I am really happy. Here is a screenshot of my Tolkien GUI workspace. The Tolkien.ttf font is assigned to the python button bar, my gis weather and google calendar desklets, all system fonts except for a mono font for terminal, all conkys, and now the audacious playlist window text.
More attention to the Tolkien GUI.
I set the SuperNova - Gold icon set to compliment the gold in the conkys. The set was incomplete, shown below are the icons I created with BoxySVG to replace those missing from the set:
Custom SN-G style Apps Menu button
Custom Gigolo
Custom Conky Manager 2
Custom QMMP
Custom Music Brainz Picard
Custom Shutter
New conky on this screen: Koentje asked me to liason to ChatGPT and grab a ticker .lua script. I have encorporated it just above my panel, scrolling a font of the elven script inscribed in The One Ring.
I think I have done all that I can with my animated Bilbo-combo custom cursor theme.
I now have six separate images:
Default: animated loop of walking Rankin/Bass style CGI Bilbo Baggins image
Panning across webpage: Sting image
Hovering over webpage clickable element: The One Ring
Hovering over text field: a red quill
Top, bottom, and side window anchor points for resizing: The Elfstone
Top_Left & Right/Bottom_Left & Right corner window anchor points for diagonal resizing: The Elendilmir
The newest addition, The Elendilmir, started as an example image from the web, fed to ChatGPT to render into a complete circlet and gemstone against a transparent background. I love how it turned out and I think it's a worthy addition to the cursor images.
