[*SOLVED*] Zos 8/32 ultimate-Can't change primary cursor

I can change the cursor themes with Ubuntu Tweak, Gnome-tweak, and dconf editor. The secondary cursors (resize, link, etc) change and may be resized larger and smaller, however, the main pointer remains unchanged either in appearance or size (dconf editor - org/gnome/desktop/interface) - reboot doesn't help.

How to entice the primary cursor to be little less obstinate?

Hi critter,

don't know if this will help:

You can also install "big-cursor or chameleon-cursor-theme" packages which might help. Via a terminal:

Code:

sudo apt-get install big-cursor chameleon-cursor-theme

Hope it helps.

Not sure if this is what you are after but see my posting here:

My only other comment is that it appears to be hard to add/change themes generally - I downloaded a theme recently and themes used to be a hidden '.themes' folder in '/home' - now it is in '/usr/share/themes' - accessing this required me to change ownership using 'chown' but I still can't get the themes installed correctly!

Alright, after messing with this for a while, I had to give up on a simple change. The only way I can get the main pointer to change is by editing /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme to point to the theme I want. Then it works. If I don't make that change, the primary cursor remains a tiny DMZ-white while the rest do change to the new theme. There's more to it somewhere that I need to track down, probably related to some alternative setting but I'm tired of messing with it for now. It's working and i can see the darn thing.

That link to the video for changing the size took care of the sizing issue as well.

Thanks! We can mark this [SortaSolved] heh
