Public bug reported: It seems Ubuntu (Kubuntu 12.04 here, KDE SC 4.9) uses a set of rather antiquated cursors. The oxygen-cursor-theme & oxygen-cursor-theme-extra packages are version 2010-05-10-kde4.4.3 while the current oxygen cursors according to Debian Sid are at least 2012-06-kde4.8.2
The K/ubuntu version of the oxygen cursors doesn't use different sizes but since KDE SC 4.8 it is possible to choose different cursor sizes if the theme contains different sizes. The current oxygen cursors are available in size 24 and 48, but not the Kubuntu ones. In Kubuntu the size chooser is greyed out whereas it works in Debian Sid with the current oxygen cursor package. I am not sure but I guess this reported (and presumably invalid) bug also has its cause in the antiquated cursor package of K/ubuntu: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304263 ** Affects: oxygencursors (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033031 Title: antiquated cursor themes in K/ubuntu - missing cursors and sizes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/oxygencursors/+bug/1033031/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
