Description Rex Dieter 2015-03-06 14:46:09 UTC

Currently, we're trying to set and use Oxygen cursor theme, which works ok for qt4/qt5 apps, but gtk ones (seem?) to still use adwaita (as previous releases).

I *think* xsettings-kde ought to be able to export this preference


I vaguely recall changing default cursor theme away from distro default (adwaita) has been a pain-point in the past, so my own personal preference is to avoid the problem and switch back to adwaita.  Mentioning this on irc, brought at least one objection (ltinkl) to that plan, however.

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2015-04-22 20:20:03 UTC

confirmed that I'm still seeing adwaita when I move cursor over non-qt apps (like firefox).

Comment 2 Martin Kho 2015-05-12 11:11:09 UTC

Hi,

I see this inconsistency too in Fedora-Live-KDE-x86_64-22-TC3.iso running in a vm [1]. In Firefox adwaita (?) is used. Everything else uses breeze cursors. Strange is that firewall-config ( a non-qt app (?) ) also 'uses' the Breeze cursor.

[1] On a bare metal F22 install (long time ago upgraded from F21) I see the seem issue.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2015-05-12 15:48:12 UTC

Looks like xsettings-kde is the culprint here, kill or uninstall that, and the proper cursor theme is used.

Reassigning

Comment 4 Martin Kho 2015-05-14 09:17:41 UTC

Hi Rex,

Removing xsettings-kde (and kcm-gtk) brought back the breeze cursors in Firefox. Btw. What added value has kde-gtk-config?

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2015-05-20 13:43:33 UTC

I think this may actually be a kde-settings bug, I found an old kde4
/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kcminputrc
that contained:
cursorTheme=Adwaita

If I remove that or explicitly set to breeze_cursors instead, it behaves better.

Comment 10 Massimiliano 2015-11-26 10:21:16 UTC

I think is related to this bug: I've selected Adwaita as default cursor theme under KDE. But gtk applications (like firefox or libreoffice) show Breeze cursors instead.

If I comment the content of /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/kcminputrc then works fine.

$ rpm -q kde-settings
kde-settings-22-15.fc22.noarch


Should reopen this or open a new one?
