[Solved] Scrotwm and xcursor issue

Good day, Arch-folk

I've just installed scrotwm on one of my computers and I absolutely love it. However, I've come across an issue with cursors. I've installed my cursor of choice and that works...sort of. In and around text or text-boxes, the cursor I selected is shown. However, in blank space in my web browser, gvim, thunar etc. I get the default X cursor. Is there any way that I can force it to use the one I want at all times? It's kind of frustrating

Thanks,

Joel.

Re: [Solved] Scrotwm and xcursor issue

I had same issue in my XMonad.

I did the fallowing.
Commented out my cursor settings from .Xdefault

And added this to .xinitrc

xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

After that i got black simple cursor in everywere.

You can try this.

Thank you. I didn't comment out the cursor in .Xdefaults, added the above line to .xinitrc and the result is I have the cursor I want everywhere.

Thank you very much!
