About
Flexa is a GNOME application that converts cursor themes between Windows (.cur and .ani files) and Linux XCursor formats. It provides a clean, intuitive interface following the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. Add multiple cursor folders at once — either through the file picker or by dragging and dropping them into the window. Flexa will scan each folder for cursors and convert them all with a single click. When done, a toast notification lets you open the output directory instantly. The output directory is configurable in Preferences and defaults to ~/.local/share/icons, so converted themes are immediately available in GNOME Settings → Appearance.
