Gamma.Gold
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
A set of 43 gold-colored 3D mouse cursors for Linux, including all the css3 cursors.
To install: extract the files, then run the “install” script which will copy the necessary files to “~/.icons/Gamma.Gold” and establish symbolic links to the cursor files.
You then need to choose the mouse theme, by for example going to: System Settings > Appearance > Themes | Mouse Pointer.
If you want you can then delete the downloaded and extracted files.

I cannot get this to install no matter how hard I try. I paste it in the right directory, update the inherits in the default folder, and even tried installing it with root. It does not work, and your install script is severely flawed and near unusable.
I tested this out on Ubuntu and, whether you like Ubuntu or not, if it does not run on Ubuntu (one of the most mainstream Linux distros), then there are some serious flaws that need to be ironed out immediately.

tar -xvf Gamma.Gold.tar.gz
cd Gamma.Gold
vi cursor.theme <-- creates new file, with the following two lines of text
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Gamma.Gold
vi install.sh <-- edits the INST_DIR path and adds COPY for new file
INST_DIR="/usr/share/icons/${$NAME}"
cp cursor.theme $INST_DIR <-- add AFTER the line "cp index.theme $INST_DIR" to ensure directory is already created
sudo ./install.sh
Open the program "Tweaks" and modify the "Keyboard & Mouse" setting for Cursor to the newly listed "Gamma.Gold" and you should see the change immediately.
