cursor: wrong cursor used in qt apps #27

Closed scoson closed 1 year ago

scoson commented 1 year ago

Sorry in advance if this is incomplete/formatted wrong in advance, I really don't belong on github :)

I use the DMZ white cursor, so I switched back to it pretty much right away, but noticing that QT apps are using the Bibata black cursor that is default with install when hovering over them. I did an upgrade, not clean install, if it matters. If not hovering over app window, or even on titlebar, DMZ is shown again. I noticed this with Hydrogen, MusE, and so I thought I'd check QT5 settings, and sure enough, there too.

Hi @scoson,

Try to set the cursor theme globally for X11 using the alternative system:

sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

Yes, that worked, thanks..

This also happens even in the live ISO on Cinnamon, Mate, and Xfce.

Furthermore, with Celluloid, the player area as well as the borders still use the Bibata cursor even though the toolbars, player controls, and the desktop in general were set to DMZ-white.

Mouse Cursors available by default like Bibata Ice(Original and Modern), Bibata Original Classic, Xcursor pro, Google Dot and Yaru are not listed as choices when attempting to set default cursor theme via sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme.

Steam (Flatpak) uses different cursor theme even though Bibata-Modern-Classic cursor theme is system default.

@wolkzel can you confirm if the solution in the link below solves the problem?

@anaximeno Sadly that solution didn't work for Steam. I gave permissions before launching, after that Steam didn't open even though I tried to open it many times. I had to reset the permissions of Steam to open it again.

update-alternative options added for alternative themes in mint-cursor-themes 1.0.1

clefebvre commented 1 year ago

For Flatpak, I'm not sure what's going on. I could reproduce the issue initially before using Flatseal.. (also Steam indeed breaks when given access to home). After giving apps home and/or system files access though, the pointer works for me, even after I disable these again.

I added info in the release notes about update-alternatives, Qt and Flatpak apps.

Hi @scoson,

Try to set the cursor theme globally for X11 using the alternative system:

sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

This worked for me. Results were clear after restarting the computer
