Colors

The svg files use placeholder colors, which are replaced with the specific theme colors before rendering.

Hotspot

Each svg source file must contain a <circle> element with id="hot". The center of the circle represents the hotspot.

Handedness

For a given handedness, each occurence of class="HAND(SCALE,MOVE)" is replaced with transform="translate(MOVE)scale(SCALE,1)" before rendering.

Animations

To animate a cursor, the svg source file can be accompanied by a .txt file. Each line in that file represents a frame, in the format DELAY ATTRIBUTE. Each occurence of class="anim" is replaced with ATTRIBUTE before rendering the respective frame.
