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.
I installed them to ~/.icons and then set it via Cursor Settings in XFCE >.>
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
woa :0
That worked! :D
Thanks ^^
Nice! Glad it's solved
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?
KeepassXC is Native :P
and not all Flatpaks Apps ahve that Issue >.>
But if it had that issue, you could have solved it by mounting gtk settings info the flatpak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
