Cursor problems... again

[anon25081990]

hey, i recently installed the cursor pack LyraP-cursors, but just with my last installation of garuda the cursor does not apply everywhere, it only applies within newly opened windows, as well as latte-dock's area, but not the desktop or the window decorations. i know i had to do something on my old installation to get that issue fixed but i don't recall what i did, does someone know what i forgot to do?
also, if i change the cursor size to something like 48, LyraP-cursors's cursor does change the size, and the other cursor theme does not, even after a restart
while waiting i started steam, and steam also uses the other cursor theme instead of LyraP, tho i can not tell you which one is "the other pack" since i don't find a matching cursor within the Cursor settings

This was yours, solved, same topic.

Custom cursor only partially appears

Try to use the sync settings option of the SDDM settings, this should provide the same cursor on both sides. It might also be required to remove the /etc/sddm.conf.d/* file as that overrides any settings in /etc/sddm.conf Gets pulled from KDE and isn’t actually installed in the system but ~/.local/share/, which is why SDDM might not be able to read it. If that is what you want, try moving it to the system path manually.

Could it be what you need?

[anon25081990]

that would make sense, tho that did not do the trick...

@anon25081990

that did not do the trick

Can you describe specifically what you tried? Maybe someone can spot a detail that can help you fix it.

[anon25081990]

i did what helped before, i.e. testing for a folder at /etc/sddm.conf.d/(not there), for a file /etc/sddm.conf(existed) and then changed the line for the cursor theme to CursorTheme=LyraP-cursors and then restarted

[BluishHumility]

It looks like last time you moved the cursor pack to ~/.icons. Does that sound right?

Custom cursor only partially appears

I actually found the cursor pack on my disk, moved it to ~/.icons/.(my best guess for the location) and the settings thingy found it, selected it and rebooted. Then I thought i started off of the wrong disk because it looked like plasma without a custom setting, but i just forgot to apply a "login screen theme" if you want to call it that, and now it works like a charm, thank you^^

[anon25081990]

sorry, forgot about that part, i created the folder and moved the icon pack into it too
