I'm already setup it and found regression from 4.8. And it's already fixed. In the release fix will be implemented.
Xfce4 settings daemon don't set Xcursor.theme, Xcursor.theme_core, Xcursor.size, according to changes in Mouse settings.
]]>cd /usr/share/icons
ln -s Oxygen_Yellow default
Thank you! I have control of my cursors again ^^
]]>For me what i did was change the default X cursor:
1) create /usr/share/icons/default file
2) install an alternative cursor like xcursor-vanilla-dmz-aa (i installed from aur)
2) put for example this content on it:
[icon theme]
Inherits=Vanilla-DMZ-AA
3) Change xfce options to use default cursor theme
Et voila, it becomes the default cursor for everyone and everything.
]]>EDIT: I tried to use lxappearance to set the cursor theme, using openbox, and it did not work. Same behaviour. So either this is a X11 or gtk bug, as far as I can tell.
]]>in ~/.gtkrc-2.0?
]]>I've made a symlink called default in ~/.icons/ that points to the Vanilla-DMZ folder in /usr/share/icons/, but this didn't help. I've also removed the parts that specify the cursor theme in ~/.config/xfce4/something/xsettings.xml and did a logout-login, but the problem presented just like before, only now xrdb -query reported
Xcursor.theme:
Nobody else experienced this before?
]]>when I move my mouse cursor over the desktop, it uses the Vanilla-DMZ theme, which is what I've set for it to use in the Mouse config GUI in XFCE. But as soon as I bring up the right-click menu, click the panel or move into a window using GTK, the cursor pointer changes to a very plain, black one. However, moving the cursor over a link in a browser, say, the "pointing hand" is the one from DMZ. What is going on? Also, moving the mouse over VLC (which is the only qt app I use at the moment) shows the proper pointer as the empty desktop does.
Output of xrand -query:
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.hinting: -1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xcursor.theme: Vanilla-DMZ
Xcursor.theme_core: true
Xcursor.size: 0
Thanks for any help!
