A few apps in Mint 18.1_Cinnamon stopped using selected cursor theme
by LenHoff from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58604)
Mint 18.1, a few apps started showing different cursor - pointer, link selection, busy / window loading (some spinning do-dad). Most still use the theme I installed a few yrs ago ("superme-series-master" - red theme).
Tor Browser started using very tiny black pointer - even over black areas. I believe TBB is mostly GTK3 (based on Fx 68.x ESR). The other icons it uses are too small or same color as the BG. I tried the Cinnamon Settings - enlarge pointer size - didn't change anything in TBB.
Other apps that don't use the selected theme (but don't all necessarily use the SAME un-selected theme)
- SMPlayer - don't know if it switched to GTK3, but other GTK2 apps use the selected superme theme OK.
- VLC player - don't know what theming engine it uses, but it always used the selected cursor.
Most other apps I checked were fine - GTK2 & GTK3. Too many to check now.
Any ideas why less than a handful are protesting?
If TBB was on board, I might forget about the other few.
I used a search tool on Tor Browser's directory - even extracted omni.ja. Found no cursor files.
The few questions I found about this usually involved way more - or most apps.
Thanks.
