I think Mike intentionally doesn't want any metadata which isn't used in the production app. Add several kilobytes to each svg and you've got several megabytes of wasted space. Exactly! I presume with svg based cursors the cursors are being created fomr the svg when the workbench is first opened. D...

As long as you're happy with what I've given, then I'm happy. Let's not add any complications.

These Sketcher_Pointer_Arc* cursors seem to be very similar: ArcOfEllipse I think is identical to ArcOfParabola - so you can simply copy and paste with that name.

None of them look anything like the images on the Buttons. Should I redesign them to look more like the button images?

<file>icons/Sketcher_Pointer_Extension.svg</file>
<file>icons/Sketcher_Pointer_Trimming.svg</file>

just leaves three more to do....

I think transparent ones are preferable to the ones with a white fill. None had white fill: all have transparent fill, but the original sample had red fill. I think I've only three more to do. <file>icons/Sketcher_Pointer_Create_ArcOfEllipse.svg</file> <file>icons/Sketcher_Pointer_Create_ArcOfHyper...

Thanks for creating that list: gives me a simple target. Here's a few more ready. Can you check them and make sure you're happy? The original sample for the slot had filled circles for 'points': I've made all mine with empty circles (like the original XPMs). Which do you prefer and are the circles a...

I'll create the svgs: i've already got a few more ready now. Should be finished by end of today. (I have others things I'm also doing)!

Great! Incorporated in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/3712 Thanks - its very rewarding for contributors like me to see our efforts quickly adopted. Meanwhile, I note your PR uses the older version for the slot svg. Note in the commit diff how large and bloated it is. The problem with the S...

If you do want the cursors recreated in svg, it's now taking me less than 5 minutes per cursor. Here's a few attached (If you open up the file in an xml editor you'll realise that there is very little difference between each one.) If you want to view them large scale, change height="64" wi...

Just as an example of clean svg. This code gives virtually an identical image to Sketcher_Pointer_Slot.svg from a few pages back. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org...
