Cursor ​

Manual installation ​

After you download a cursor theme (for example, Vimix cursors theme), extract it to ~/.local/share/icons to aplly it for current user only, or to /usr/share/icons to apply it system wide.

shell
sudo tar xf 01-Vimix-cursors.tar.xz -C /usr/share/icons

Set current cursor ​

To set the cursor only for your user, either:

  1. Run lxappearance and set it on the GUI.
  2. Create or update ~/.icons/default/index.theme and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

To set the cursor globally, either:

  1. (Preferred) Update /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
  2. Create a symlink: sudo ln -fns ../Vimix-cursors/cursors /usr/share/icons/default/cursors
ini
## index.theme
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Vimix-cursors
ini
## ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-cursor-theme-name=Vimix-cursors
