I have: export XCURSOR_THEME=DMZ-White XCURSOR_SIZE=64 export GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark in my ~/.bashrc file. The second line reduces dazzle in applications, and I find black buttons with a white line round the active one easier to see than white buttons with a second dotted line on the active one. I have adwaita-icon-theme installed, and use fvwm on X. I've made no changes between bullseye, bookwork and trixie in this area. Cheers, David.
