How do I change the global cursor theme here?

English Applications
1

I’m on i3wm and Tumbleweed. Most of the apps that don’t even have clientside cursor themes and support serverside well enough. I’ve tried lxappearance and it mostly works but some apps (like firefox and gimp) don’t support it.

Is this in GTK or QT?

For GTK

GTK

~/.gtkrc-2.0

gtk-cursor-theme-name="*cursor_theme_name*"

~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

[Settings] gtk-cursor-theme-name=*cursor_theme_name*

Using environment variable

You can use an environment variable to set a theme for a single application to try it out temporarily, for example:

$ XCURSOR_THEME=cursor_theme_name xclock

XCURSOR_SIZE is optional if your cursor theme supports multiple sizes.

In some environments, /etc/Xresources (global) or ~/.Xresources (user) can apply desired cursor settings, e.g.:

Xcursor.theme: DMZ-White
Xcursor.size: 32

These two are provided by:

# rpm -q dmz-icon-theme-cursors
dmz-icon-theme-cursors-11.4.0-1.4.noarch
#

lxappearance already set both of them and it fully worked on my past system with nixos.

I don’t have that file and creating it and adding those lines but with my cursor theme didn’t help.
