Hi Lynn,

You can use this line in your CMakeLists.txt to install the icons:

install(
  FILES zoom_cursor.png
  DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/name_of_your_application
  )

You should then be able to load them with:

  QString path = KStandardDirs::locate("appdata", "zoom_cursor.png");
  QPixmap cursorPixmap = QPixmap(path);
  QCursor(cursorPixmap);

This is what I do to load a zoom cursor in Gwenview (you can have a look
at kdegraphics/gwenview/cursors/CMakeLists.txt and
kdegraphics/gwenview/lib/scrolltool.cpp)
