[Bug 459647] Re: Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 86184 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86184 I never had any use for eye-candy hence no need to change themes or cursor icons. That is until my 78 year-old mother-in-law complained that the cursor was too small. I tried to change the size on default cursor and it did in some windows but not on desktop or system windows. The search began and I came across this you tube video that solved my problem, the link at the end. Here is a step by step of what I did courtesy of AbhiramH on you tube: 1-Go to http://gnome-look.org/ , click on X11 Mouse Themes in the left margin, and download a pointer theme you like. I needed a large cursor so I downloaded Large Mouse Cursor 1.0 http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Large+Mouse+Cursors?content=140787 2-go to download folder and extract to desktop, you now have a folder on desktop named as the downloaded theme MY extracted folder was named Large Mouse Cursor and I had to rename it Large-Mouse-Cursor (with dashes) to get this to work, it seems like spaces don't really work in this process. Themes without spaces worked without renaming. 3-Fire up the terminal, type sudo nautilus, enter password 4- once browsing as root in the file browser, copy the folder on the desktop and paste to usr/share/icons folder 5-close nautilus and terminal 6- Fire terminal again and type sudo gedit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme 7-enter password 8- when the file opens, you will see Inherits=name of your current pointer theme, change that to Inherits=name of new pointer theme which is the name of the extracted folder you copied in step 4. Mine was Inherits=Large-Mouse-Cursors (again note the lack of space and addition of dashes) 9-save and exit. 10- now go to system/preferences/appearance, click customize, click pointer tab, and choose your new pointer theme, and exit 11- shut down and restart. Log in and out did not work for me. That's it, it should work. Other than a few exceptions above, I take no credit for this.

However, you need to be treating this as an accessibility issue and giving it a little more attention than it has gotten over the past several years that this defect has stagnated and continually resurfaced. Users with impaired vision absolutely depend on the ability to increase the mouse pointer size (especially on today's high resolution displays). While some of the workarounds above allow a different cursor theme to be installed, none of them solve the related problem in which the mouse pointer cannot be resized when Compiz is enabled (even with the default DMZ White theme).

It should say: [Icon Theme] Inherits=NAME_OF_A_UNPACKED_FOLDER_IN_STEP_1 5) Log out and back in. Alas, it still only half worked for me and was using an old icon set I had chosen on some pages. 6) Go to Appearances again and notice that your Theme may now NOT be selected and be Custom instead.

[Bug 459647] Re: Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled
I'm still getting this error on a fresh install of Maverick. Previously (with Lucid) I could use the mentioned work-arounds (with ~/.icon/default/index.theme, etc) to get proper cursors but that wasn't even working in 10.10. Now it will change it for some windows (firefox) or for certain cursors (resize) but the main pointer was the default white cursor. No combination of logging out or rebooting gave different results. What's odd is that if I used the compiz system tray icon (package 'fusion-icon') to change the window decorator to 'GTK Window Decorator' instead of 'Emerald,' then everything works as expected. In fact, I removed my ~/.icons/default/index.theme and I can successfully switch cursor themes with compiz running as long as I have the window decorator set to GTK. I can then switch back to Emerald without problems after.

Just to double check, can you check to see if for example, the cursor theme does not change when the mouse is in QT windows?

[Bug 459647] Re: Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled
I answer to Majestyx, comment #37: I was in your exact situation and I workarounded the problem simply removing the file /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme; after that I also noticed that some other problems disappeared (i.e. the cursor theme wasn't always the same in every application, but somewhere was the default one specified in /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme, and somewhere was the theme I had choosen). It seems to me that somewhere the /etc/alternatives/x-cursor-theme is predominant; but if this is the case, how can a user change it without administrative rights?

[Bug 459647] Re: Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled
I've been following this bug since Lucid, which was when I noticed this behaviour. Not sure if this helps, but this is how I worked-around the same behaviour under Compiz on Arch (see the last comment): http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18923 Basically I was getting the ugly black X pointer when performing certain actions like dragging a Firefox tab, however it seems the mouse theme has more to do with it than any code fix (even though Compiz still might be at fault). To be totally honest, I set my themes / pointers etc up to emulate Jaunty and it worked. I'm not saying that it's not a stupid Compiz bug, but this is how you can work around it if you're ok with some of your pointers being from a base cursor theme that is better looking than the black X theme. -- Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 459647] Re: Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled
My bug report #588042 appears to be a duplicate of this. I noticed, after submitting that report, that I can change the cursors other than the arrow cursor (such as the text vertical-bar cursor and cursors for dragging window boundaries, etc.), but usually the arrow cursor stays the same. This adds to the confusion about what's happening, since that's the cursor which is selected in the dialog - you don't see the changes until you check the cursor shape and color in, for example, a text window. Also, variable-size cursors, such as Redglass, cannot be resized - moving the size slider doesn't change the size of the cursor being used. As for getting someone to fix this, well, as was pointed out in an earlier comment, this has a low priority, and the number of volunteers for fixing this is limited.

[Bug 459647] Re: Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled
Added myself to the list with this bug. While the work-arounds are nice, this isn't a LOW priority bug. Sorry Sebastian Bacher, but this isn't just a cosmetic bug...for some its damn important to be able to have the larger/different CONSISTENT cursor, and most folks couldn't do these work-arounds to save their lives. Not only should this be a high priority for usability, cosmetically this is the sort of thing that leaves new users irritated with UI sloppiness. Several folks I've installed Ubuntu for have mentioned some of these issues, referring to the UI glitches as win95 crap. I in all honesty cannot disagree with them. If we want this OS to be slicker than the MAC as the SABDFL has so loudly shouted to the housetops, then a simple mouse cursor change which is stock rock STANDARD should just fracking work. That it requires gconf hoops as well as source rebuilds to fix is NOT FRACKIN' ACCEPTABLE. if this were Archnotta problem...just get the right AUR build and be done with it...but when a distro is shooting for the moon or...er...more slick than win7 or mac, then these issues aren't LOW. Period. That an Ubuntu Dev would blow this off as low/fix whenever...chaps my hide a bit to see, as I'm not going to call my buddy in California and walk him through the work-arounds. He'll just laugh and toss Ubuntu back on the pile of nice tries and go back to win7 or the mac to do the things he needs to get done. UI is SCREAMINGLY important, as the general non-geek public that tries this is the target audience, and if the UI is garbled for the simplest changes, the confidence in stability and usability goes out the damn window.

I have to agree with Casey on this.

RE: [Bug 459647] Re: Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled
So Do I... The UI is very important and if we want Ubuntu to gain more popularity, problems like this should be fixed urgently. Even that crappy OS , windows 7, has a nice interface with no bugs. A home user will appreciate a well-made UI which does not have any problems. -Original Message- From: boun...@canonical.com [mailto:boun...@canonical.com] On Behalf Of max Sent: Monday, May 17, 2010 12:19 PM To: nik8...@gmail.com Subject: [Bug 459647] Re: Cannot change mouse cursor theme when compiz is enabled I have to agree with Casey on this.

I agree with the earlier post that this is an accessibility issue. As person with limited vision, I have a very hard time finding the small mouse pointer on my desktop.
