Sorry i attached the wrong files. I will update it soon
cursors.zip This one does not work
At the moment the XPM based support for cursors only accepts mono cursors. That is like two-colors black and white. But you can disable the XPM support by editing config.h like follows and then recompile and reinstall and restart:
$ grep -i -e xpm -e imlib config.h
/* Define to enable imlib2 rendering. */
#define CONFIG_IMLIB2 1
/* Define to enable libxpm rendering. */
/* #define CONFIG_XPM 1 */
Then your beautiful colored cursors will work.
i installed debian version over github version and its now working. Probably i missed something during compilation. do not know what i missed.

Ok. I will try that
You also need to define the hotspot
in your cursor images.
That is the sensitive spot of your cursor and the center of action.
How to do that is explained in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_PixMap#XPM3.
Yes, the cursors now show but still looks mono coloured. I think I can manage that. Thanks
Thanks a lot. Am working on it now

It was working before but after a reinstall i could not use my themed cursor files again. The ones I downloaded from the net works but the ones I created in gimp do not work any longer.
Running icewm from terminal using my configured theme gives this error:
**IceWM: Warning: Invalid cursor pixmap: "/home/clemency/.icewm/themes/22oz/cursors/left.xpm" contains too many unique colors IceWM: Unknown keyword for a non-container: 'Win95Keys'. Expected either 'key' or 'runonce' here. IceWM: A window manager is already running, use --replace to replace it cursors.zip

I have tried removing all colours from the cursor files but still do not work. i don't know how to create cursor files that can be recognised by icewm. But it worked before.
The cursor files I created are attached
