Description: This is a X11 version of the cursor that Windows LSD 3.5 (a hacked version from DrLSD [http://www.winlsd.org/]) featured. Simply install it by extracting into your ~/.icons dir and editing ~/.Xdefault.
This theme is pretty good, prominent on screen and a real classc....
But it had an issue. when i run firefox, the busy cursor changes back to DMZ. Any Ideas or suggestions?
By the Way, Loved your theme....
Hi !
I'm sorry you've got this issue. I don't know anything about the way compiz or stuffs can mess up with the cursors. All I know is that my theme doesn't require complicated things to work (I personnaly use no compiz or anything of this kind).
Is firefox the only program which does this ? I use midori and I face no such issue while I use this cursor.
Ok but it's only in the firefox/epiphany window that your busy cursor gets DMZ'd no ? In other windows it keeps working normally right ?
If so then I think I have the answer. My theme must be missing a specific state of cursor used by these two programs which is not 'watch' or 'left_ptr_watch' - which are the only one I knew to mean 'stuff is working'.
If I'm correct then what we need to do is : check all the names of possible states for a cursor in a theme that doesn't cause the problem, and compare with the names of cursor states in LSD. First who does this will probably fix the problem and will have... well all my gratitude.
If it's not that simple, well I'm afraid it's beyond my little knowledge. But don't worry, GQC (Greygjhart's Quality Cursor) will refund you the price of this theme... ; )
i had similar issues with google-chrome in arch linux, and found that the missing file was called 08e8e1c95fe2fc01f976f1e063a24ccd
so i symlinked it to left_ptr_watch and all is right with the world!
