Unable to change cursor themes

Hi,

I've been forever trying to change cursor theme on my Arch installation , but it seems to be stuck with default Adwaita.

I am currently following these guides :

First I started with : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cursor_themes

find /usr/share/icons ~/.icons -type d -name "cursors"

Output:

/usr/share/icons/Paper/cursors
/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors
find: ‘/home/myusername/.icons’: No such file or directory

index.theme has all dependent themes present.

cat /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Paper

cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=0
gtk-cursor-theme-name=Paper

Executed the below :

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme Paper

Next stop moved to the following :

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GD … rsor_theme

cat /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/10-cursor-settings
[org/gnome/desktop/interface]
cursor-theme=Paper

and Executed :

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme Paper

I am running GNOME with an X11 session and GDM. Also tried setting theme via tweak tools , but to no avail. Can some one suggest where I am going wrong. I've spent more time than i'd like to admit getting this to work smile

Thanks.
