Restore defaults not fully working #179

Open gabrielf11 opened 2 years ago

gabrielf11 commented 2 years ago

I had chosen a cursor called "Unity2016 Blue", and when I restored defaults the "Busy" cursor never reset to the default. Is there a way I can fix this?

It is one of my cursor sets from the Unity 2016 project which Jamie Green stood for - among others. https://jamiegreen.github.io/UNITY-2016/

You could log out? That usually fixes the issue.. or have you tried applying a different set of cursors and then trying to restore defaults.. try this in Terminal defaults delete com.apple.SystemUIServer

That might help.

Also, perhaps just relaunching the Dock and Finder would help too instead of the above SystemUIServer command

Again, in a Terminal window type killall Dock && killall Finder

After attempting to learn from Apple's cursor settings (to accurately create my own Cape) via "Capes/Dump Cursors...", I noticed that somehow my changes to the duplicate of the system cursors that I created had for some reason reflected in the original cape as well. I attempted to "Restore Defaults" and it wiped 90% of the original cursors from the system setting- causing a mini-freakout that I had somehow ruined the system cursor set.

Luckily Google led me here, and the killall commands worked for me on this one, thanks VisualisationExpo!
