the ubuntu jimmac cursors are outdated, as I posted here:
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13328

but since it seems to be really low priority and its really bugging me I thought I can fix this up myself...

xcursorgen should do that for ya.
And, while you're at it, add in a window-moving-cross icon too. I know it's not included by default either.

I always just download cursors from gnome-look or wherever.......then put them in ~/.icons and add Xcursor.theme: jimmac(or whatever) to your ~/.Xdefaults and restart X

hope this helps

I like it. Adding to my current installation of Jimmac's cursors right now.

here is a slight update; I thought it would be better to keep the cursors b/w to match the jimmac style better.
I also added a build folder, so you can follow what I have done...
