I just did a fresh install of KDE Plasma (minimal install). I encountered an issue when trying to change my mouse cursor to a custom downloaded one (Sweet-cursors).
Problem
- After downloading and applying the new cursor theme, I did a logout/login.
- I noticed that the new icon worked on some places, but not on others. For example it did not work on window top title bars.
- It seems like the cursor falls back to the KDE default (the old ugly one), not even the system default of Breeze
First Attemped Solution (Did Not Work)
Uninstall / reinstall of cursor
- Did not work
Second Attempted Solution (Did Not Work)
- I modified my home directory ~/.icons/default/index.theme with the following
-
- Inherits=Sweet-cursors
Third Solution (Works)
- I copied the Sweet cursor theme to /usr/share/icons
- I modified /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
-
- Inherits=Sweet-cursors
My preference is not to modify system files, but I could not get it to work any other way.
My question is was I doing something wrong or is there another (more correct) way to solve this problem that I have overlooked?
Thanks,
Frank
