I see fedora has finally dropped bluecurve, but the default adwaita cursors are still incredibly ugly. Is there a supported cursor theme I could switch to more like bluecurve?
Is there a page anywhere previewing the themes that are available?

Answering my own question:
DNF search showed there weren't too many cursor themes to search through one by one. I've settled on Oxygen_White after installing oxygen-cursor-themes

I wish there was an easy editor for creating your own desktop themes from scratch. I dislike the glaring 100% white back ground on text windows and file listers, yet the alternatives all seem to be the extreme opposite (dim and dark, though often with a harsh white background in something that isn't controlled by it). There's never a less-white option. Turning the screen contrast down isn't an option, you make real pictures hideously dim.
When I first started using Red Hat Linux (which became Fedora), the desktop was Enlightenment under the covers (if I remember correctly), and you could configure it like MUI on the Amiga. Put your own graphics, or just colours, into the various different parts of the window GUIs (background between listers, in the listers, in the various spaces between them, sliders, knobs, buttons, etc).
Don't suggest KDE, it just isn't my bag. I use Mate.
