Hi Alex, I also run EXWM as my window manager under Guix System. I manage my keyboard and cursor settings in my ~/.xsession file. For the cursor settings, I use xsetroot like so: ``` # Change cursor to left arrow xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr ``` Take a look at its man page for quite a few options related to setting the cursor file and size.
