Mouse cursor theme changes back to some different theme

Hello Everyone,
I recently installed Manjaro(i3-wm,version) really liked it more than venilla Arch(not an advanced user) but I have this small issue here, I use custom mouse-cursor theme, it woks well but when i open some pre-installed apps (like pcmanfm,pamac etc.), the theme changes to some different theme(not default theme i.e breeze). When I move the cursor back to some other app(eg.brave-browser) the cursor theme changes back.
I found a temporary fix for this is running this command : ‘xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr’.
So can anyone pls suggest me a permanent fix for this.
(For some reason im unable to upload a screenshot)

sudo nano /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme

Inherits=your-cursor, Adwaita

thank you, but it didnot change anything

did you reboot?

Yes I did

did you use lxappearance to change it ?
or
did you edit some file ?

First installed it from KDE store, using OCS-install then applied the theme using Lxappeareance

so it’s in your user folder, not /usr/share/icons.
you need to copy it to /usr/share/icons for system wide use.

us tilers got to stick together. sometimes it takes effort to get things the way you want.
