mousecursor switching in xlunch #131

Open arcolinuxz opened 3 years ago

arcolinuxz commented 3 years ago

Would you make it possible (or is it possible) to keep the current mouse cursor of the system and not switch to what I think must be adwaita in xlunch?

Not quite sure what you mean, xlunch doesn't change your mouse cursor theme. It just switches between the normal arrow and the clickable hand icon. It might be that your cursor font isn't configured correctly, or that it is missing the XC_top_left_arrow and/or XC_hand1 cursors (although then you would've likely seen it everywhere and not just in xlunch).

This is what happens windowed or full screen we switch mouse cursor theme - i3 - awesome - bspwm and openbox tested so far

Hmm, that's strange. I'm on i3 as well and it works fine for me. How are you setting your cursor theme? I have mine set through lxappearance, which updates ~/.icons/default/index.theme and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Tried a couple different themes, and some of them where showing some weird behaviour, but I think that's caused by them not including all the cursors (and particularly the ones that xlunch uses namely XC_top_left_arrow and XC_hand1. I guess xlunch could set up a chain of fallback cursors for themes that lack some of the official cursors, but as a workaround you can "fix" your cursor theme by following the steps in the "Troubleshooting -> Create links to missing cursors" here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cursor_themes.

P.S.: I'm not Tomas, he's the original author. I've just added a lot of features and helped maintain it since 2017
