[Solved] where are the files for Xorg's default cursor theme?

<< < (2/3) > >>

GNUser:
One idea is to use wrapper scripts around the trouble applications. The wrapper scripts would be pretty simple: Find window id of active window (which would be xfe), change cursor_name in that window to left_ptr, launch application.

Does anyone  know a command equivalent to this one, but for a specific window id rather than for root window?

--- Code: ---xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
--- End code ---

GNUser:
I found a solution. Launch xfe, then:
Edit -> Preferences -> General -> uncheck "Notify when applications start up"

Too easy :D

I never did find out the location of Xorg's default cursor theme, so I guess the thread is technically not solved. However, I think I found a less hacky solution to my problem.

Hi GNUser
In other words:

xfe was not reseting its cursor.

GNUser:
Hi, Rich. Yes, I think that's it. When "Notify..." is checked, xfe only resets its cursor after receiving some kind of signal from the launched application. Unfortunately, most of the GUI applications I use do not provide such signal.

Maybe GTK/qt applications provide the signal that xfe is looking for but non-GTK/qt applications don't? Just a wild guess.

curaga:
The default cursor theme is built in, so you can't modify it as files. If you modify an external theme, you have to set that theme as your theme to see the effects.
