Indeed, it seems that the themes don't have Pointer associated. They have Controls, Colors, Windows Border, Icon.
Now I see other issues. Lucid: When you click on a Theme, it is applied immediately (Controls, Colors, Windows Border, Icon). When you click Customize... and change any of these (Controls, Colors, Windows Border, Icon), the theme called Custom is overwritten by that theme with the extra customization you just made. So far so good. The first inconsistency is that when you choose a theme, the current Pointer is immediately replaced by the Default pointer. If you click Customize... and change just the Pointer, the change is immediately applied, but the same theme remains selected. If you change the theme your mouse will look like Default again, and when you change back, it remains Default. If now you click Customize... change the Pointer and after that you chane something else (Controls, Colors, Windows Border, Icon), the Custom theme is overwritten and it is actually saved together with the Pointer you have just chosen. Now click on any other theme, your Pointer immediately becomes the Default one. Click on the Custom theme, you get the previously saved mouse. Click on Customize... and change it, you get a new pointer. Click on any other theme, you get Default. Click on Custom again, you don't get neither Default nor the one you have just chosen. Instead, you get the Pointer you had chosen on the previous paragraph. Summary: Standard themes are not associated with a mouse pointer. Nevertheless: There is a tab called Pointer, which makes the user believe it has just the same citizenship as the other fields (Controls, Colors, Windows Border, Icon). Changing theme changes the mouse pointer. Changing the mouse pointer and later on changing something else creates a theme called Custom with the chosen Pointer associated to it. If Custom already exists, it is overwritten. Changing the mouse pointer without changing anything else causes neither any change to the current theme nor any change to Custom, making the pointer choice totally volatile. Karmic running Gnome Desktop on the top of a Kubuntu install: The same as above, with an extra particularity: Choosing any theme enforces the Default pointer (which here is the kdeish oxy-white pointer), with the exception of Dust theme and Dust Sand theme, who enforce the DMZ-White mouse. Appart from this, whatever theme you choose, it does imply immediate changes to the pointer of your mouse, but clicking on Customize... and viewing the tab Pointer just shows you the last pointer that was manually chosen. -- Mouse pointer is not set when a theme is chosen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571150 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
