Improper cursor theme on KDE when in GTK applications [SOLVED]

I've noticed that the mouse cursor is different to what I've set it to in KDE settings when I"m using GTK applications. Yes, I know there are threads addressing this, but they haven't solved it for me.

~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini,~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini:

[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
gtk-button-images=true
gtk-cursor-theme-name=default
gtk-cursor-theme-size=32
gtk-decoration-layout=icon:minimize,maximize,close
gtk-enable-animations=false
gtk-font-name=Conthrax,  12
gtk-icon-theme-name=Amoled
gtk-menu-images=true
gtk-modules=colorreload-gtk-module
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=false
gtk-toolbar-style=3

~/.Xdefaults:

Xcursor.theme:Amoled

Re: Improper cursor theme on KDE when in GTK applications [SOLVED]

Despite no specification of what gtk clients, what wiki and what would be the "proper" cursor and which you see, just look at this for a while:

gtk-cursor-theme-name=default
…
gtk-icon-theme-name=Amoled
…
Xcursor.theme:Amoled

Firefox is one of them. Pamac is another.

what wiki and what would be the "proper" cursor and which you see...

I'm not sure where there is a wiki for setting up a KDE mouse to work with GTK applications. If there is, I'd like to see it.

just look at this for a while:

gtk-cursor-theme-name=default
…
gtk-icon-theme-name=Amoled
…
Xcursor.theme:Amoled

I followed the suggestions in an Arch Linux Thread, and they used 'default' as the setting. Nonetheless, I tried using 'Amoled,' which is the name of the name of my mouse cursor theme.

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … tk-config/

Installed this. Thanks.

Still no go.

***EDIT***

Should have mentioned that I'm using Wayland. Sorry, forgot

***EDIT***

Got it working!

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

and

~/.icons/default/index.theme:

[icon theme]
Inherits=Amoled
