Yet another DMZ cursor theme

ALL FOLDERS RENAMED IN LATEST UPDATE - PLEASE REMOVE OLD FOLDERS BEFORE COPYING!

The purpose of this theme is to replace the black/white busy spinner in the DMZ cursor theme. All icons (except the animated watch spinner icon and the pointer) is inherited from the DMZ-White theme.

  1. For the blue Unity8 dots I have used this YouTube video as a reference. This one as an inner shadow.
    1. This Unity8 spinner came from the Ubuntu Phone documentation. The space between the lines are transparent.
    2. Same as above but orange
    3. DMZ-colored_trobber is the standard default DMZ watch spinner, colored blue.
    4. With the orange split I am trying a different color. Here an orange dot splitting and assembling while rotating. The #E95420 sometimes looks like red, so this one is slightly more orange.
    5. Simply a rotating Suru gear icon.
    6. These 3 dots are placed like in the Ubuntu logo. I wanted to add some color and used Suru blue, Ubuntu orange and Canonical aubergine.
    7. I came across this idea and thought it was a nice mix between Microsoft's circle of dots and Apples beachball. Also with so many colors, it can be seen on any background color.
    8. A orange bouncing ball. I was hoping the shadow was a bit clear, since the ball disappears on orange backgrounds.
    9. A gray semi-transparent ring with an orange slice rotating.
    10. A blue circle with a "wave" animation.
    11. This one is taking the idea of the current "process-working-symbolic.svg".
    12. This IS the actual "process-working-symbolic.svg" spinning.

examples

The pointer has also been replaced and should appear sharper.
