Install Alkano Serie 2.7.5 (Mouse Cursor Theme) on Ubuntu / Linux Mint

Install Alkano Serie 2.7.5 (Mouse Cursor Theme) on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus, Ubuntu 15.10 wily werewolf, Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS), Linux Mint  17.1, Linux Mint 17.2, Linux Mint 17.3 and other Ubuntu derivative systems.

By comments of the community asking me why I have changed the Alkano's original shape, specially by Janet, I decided return to the original shape on this version 2.7.5. I want give thanks everybody for your comments and indications to improve this theme.

All cursors for windows resizing, are animated. Cursor sizes: 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56 pixels. Built specially for KDE Plasma 5 Desktop Environment.

As ever, I offer the full serie for left handed and right handed. You can download it on this web page. The cursor theme's name is same for both left handed and right handed, only I use the clause "comment" of index.theme file, to differentiate them: this is to put a stop to discrimination.


I have tested it under Zorin 11, Cinnamon, KDE, Pantheon, Xfce, Unity, also Gnome 2/3.x and it works great. I decided to upload it, and after will go improving it. I would like change a few things so you can expect updates. If you find any bugs, please let me know in comments section.

If you don't know how to install a mouse theme with multi-sized property or to choose a cursor size, go to http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=164300, there you can see the instructions for Gnome2/3.x, Unity, KDE, Cinnamon, Pantheon and Xfce.
