That's all.
I would love to get rid of it completely. I changed my mouse pointer theme to Oxygen Black in KDE's System Settings. That worked fine except in Firefox and Google Chrome. There I still have the ugly hand. I even changed "/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme" to read as follows: [Icon Theme] Inherits=Oxygen_Black After logging out and logging back in, I still have that ugly hand. What I would also love to get rid of is the little animation that takes place by the cursor when it is waiting for something to complete. I looked through the mouse pointer themes in System Settings for one that did not have that animation, or just some way to shut it off, all to no avail... Yes, I have Launch Feedback set to "No Busy Cursor." Anyway, any wisdom you can give me is greatly appreciated. Steven P.
