About:
Xbitmaps provides a collection of standard bitmap images and icons used by the X Window System and various X11 clients.

It serves as a foundational data package for graphical X11 applications.
Key Features:
  • Standardized collection of X11 bitmap images
  • Essential for cursor themes and application icons
  • Provides header files for bitmap data integration
Use Cases:
  • Providing standard icons for X11 window managers
  • Developing X11 applications requiring standard bitmap resources
  • Setting up cursor themes for Linux/Unix desktop environments
Alternatives:
  • Adwaita-icon-theme – Modern, full-color icon sets for GTK-based desktops, whereas Xbitmaps provides legacy monochrome/low-color bitmaps for X11.
