Well, changing the .theme file with gedit gets results when you log out, and on the logon screen. That's probably what it's supposed to do. Using the appearance preferences does indeed update the cursor, but the changes don't carry over to the desktop. Weird. Upon changing the overall theme to dust...a pre-packaged one, I now have red glass on some portions of some windows, Comix on others, and the dmz-white on others. That's 3! different mouse themes in one session!
Note: with compiz visusal effects set to none the theme/icon switching works fine. When I add any eye candy, it goes back to it's normal foul acting self. I'm thinking openGL layers, or alpha blending handling issues. Is there anyone else with me? I think it's definitely compiz. -- Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
