Yeah, that’s the thing. I’ve done that to no avail.
update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
mate-appearance-properties
sudo mate-appearance-properties
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme "[oh God please help me]"
marco --replace #To see if Compiz 0.8 is screwing something up
sudo nano /usr/share./icons/default/index.theme #In case that got cocked up
sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/x-cursor-theme #In case changing priorities helped
sudo nano /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursor.theme #In case changing its inherits would help
echo None of this helps, I want to do awful things.
Seriously, Cinnamon does a better job of this. Why does it have to be so damn hard in MATE?
If anyone wants to hang out in the #ubuntu-mate channel until later, I’ll gladly let somebody use Teamviewer to help me change my cursor theme, if they can figure out how to do it. I’ll make note of things I had not done yet. Preferably, since somebody’s going to be logging me in and out all the time, I would rather their session details since the other side won’t be logging off so much.
