Despite all solutions in the above I found a way to change the cursors: - Download the tar-ball from e.g. gnome-look.org - Extract it as root to /usr/share/icons - Then edit as root the index.theme file located in usr/share/icons/default Change the line Inherits= to the name of your new icon theme. Logout and login again and your new cursor is in use. Followed the instructions and it worked like a charm with my Shiny new clean Lucid Install. -- 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
