I'm in the same boat so I started getting my "tweaking" fix by making my own themes. Just got my first cursor theme working and it's awesome!

Sweet! I've experimented with installing a few bits from gnome look but haven't made any of my own. How difficult is it? I've managed to theme my favourite terminal applications though. A big part of my satisfaction is based on feeling, a large part of which is visual. Diehard instrumentalists may look down on me for it but I am unashamed and not alone.

Honestly, it's way more convoluted and frustrating than it has any right to be. The only tools I found were cursor-toolbox which allows you to convert SVG templates to the correct set of PNGs and xcursorgen which converts the PNGs to actual cursor files. It took me several tries just get a working cursor set. Then I spent much much longer actually drawing and tweaking my theme using inkscape. It was certainly rewarding to get it working though. Now I smile every time I see the little "busy" animation.
