About the XBM format
XBM — X Windows Bitmap
XBM is a monochrome (black and white) bitmap format used in the X Window System. Like XPM, it is stored as ASCII C source code, making it trivially embeddable in applications. It was the original cursor and icon format for X11.
Common uses
- X11 cursor and icon definitions
- Embedding monochrome images in C programs
- Legacy Unix application graphics
- Simple black-and-white image storage
About the CUR format
CUR — Windows Cursor
CUR is the static cursor file format for Windows, storing a custom mouse pointer image. Like ICO files, CUR files can contain multiple images at different sizes and color depths, enabling Windows to select the best cursor image for the current display settings.
Common uses
- Custom Windows mouse cursor design
- Windows theme and skin development
- Accessibility cursor customization
- Converting cursor designs to ICO or PNG
