Change cursor theme

[uggla]

Hi!

I don't like the new, animated cursor theme. How can I change it to something less annoying?

I have created an issue on the tracker to include an application in the next release which will allow you to do this. In the meantime, here's a manual method.

1. Reinstall x11-data-cursor-themes.
2. Run this command in a terminal. It will give you a list of possible cursor themes:
   
   Code:
   

   find /usr/share/icons/ -name cursor* | awk -F/ '{print $5}'
3. Edit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme as root and change the Inherits= line to the name of the cursor theme you want to use.
4. Log out and back in to make the change take effect.
