X11 cursor resets to default in most applications.

After downloading and choosing the simple and soft cursor theme from pacman I noticed that it would only display in a few applications such as firefox where as on the desktop and xchat it would use the black default cursor. After checking the wiki I noticed that it references the issue in X11 cursors but gives little hint to a solution.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Re: X11 cursor resets to default in most applications.

have you read this part

If you rather want to change the cursor globally, or if you experience problems with above method (for example in Firefox), create the /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme file. Then edit it, and add the following:

[icon theme]
Inherits=foobar

"where foobar is the name of your mouse theme" that worked for me after a reboot
