Changes on Oxygen Cursors - will this still work on Windows?

[Lukas Sommer]

Hello.

The Oxygen cursor themes are currently not scalable. We want to change this
(see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273936 for details).

I've made a patch that changes the cursor build system, so that each time no
longer has a "normal" and a "big" version, but only one multisize-version.

My question is: Will this still work for Windows? (I haven't tested the
Windows build because I don't have a build environment for Windows.) There
are 2 changes that could affect the Windows cursors. This affects mainly
wincursor.py (the xcursorgen replacement) and png2ico which is used by
wincursor.py

1) The config files (left_ptr.in etc.) will now have various entries for
various PNGs in various sizes. Will Windows handle this correctly, choosing
automatically the correct size depending on the screen resolution?

2) Some of the SVG files render by default (=90 dpi) to 24x24 px, others to
32x32 px. This is bad because different default sizes within the same theme
will have side affects when choosing the cursor size. So I use simply always
24 px as default size at 90 dpi - though the png sometimes is 32 px. This is
legal on X, because the size information is only _nominal_ size. Will this
also work on Windows?

Regards.
