How did you install the custom cursors? Xfce uses gtk framework, as does Firefox. Steam uses their own framework.
You're looking for a way to set the cursors globally.

You might want to try creating a file called index.theme in .local/share/icons/default/ and putting this in it:
[Icon Theme]
Name=Default
Comment=Default Cursor Theme
Inherits=your-theme-here
cursors can be a pain in the ass to actually make them show up everywhere properly. If you're using Xorg you might also need to set it in .Xresources:
Xcursor.theme: your-theme-here
Xcursor.size: 24
and then if you get into flatpaks you might have to mess with settings in flatseal to give it access to the cursor theme.
Just tried that and it wouldnt really work sadly :(
My Files basically look like this tho so i may have done something wrong >.>
/home/retro-hax/.local/share/icons/default/icons.theme
[Icon Theme]
Name=Fluttershy
Inherits=Adwaita
the icons.theme file is btw simply copied from my Fluttershy Cursoer that im using :P
.Xresources:
Xcursor.theme: Fluttershy
Xcursor.size: 24
Sorry for the late reply. icons.theme should be index.theme, although you said the theme you downloaded uses icons.theme. Maybe it's interchangable? I'm not sure about that. Also, is the name of your theme Fluttershy? If so you should put that in the Inherits field, Name shouldn't be necessary. Other than that it looks okay.
yea i had it to index.theme now :P
but i misstyped it in the comment the file name :(
Also it still doesnt wanna load even tho my flatseal settings uses this :(
XCURSOR_PATH=/run/host/user-share/icons:/run/host/share/icons
My Cursor Icons are inside .icons tho so should i copy them to /usr/share/icons as well? O.o
I'm not sure what /run/host/user-share/icons points to, it might be flatpak thing where it's pointing to something outside the sandbox. I'm pretty sure you could just point it to .icons like this:
XCURSOR_PATH=~/.icons
Some apps Will draw their own cursor and there's nothing you can do about it. However, what's happening here might be something else, so, are these apps in flatpak?
