I assumed that the problem of the OP is not that s/he's not able to |
| 23 |
set a pointer theme. Maybe I was wrong in that assumption. If that's |
| 24 |
the case then this can be easily sorted out by opening the gnome |
| 25 |
control center as you said, and setting the mouse theme. There are |
| 26 |
many themes in the portage tree as well. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It can be set manually in ~/.Xdefaults as well. OR just by putting the |
| 29 |
theme in /usr/share/icons/default/ or ~/.icons/default/, if my memory |
| 30 |
serves correctly. You can pick any mouse pointer theme from |
| 31 |
{gnome,kde}-look as well and install it as described. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I have no idea if the default X pointer theme has changed lately. |
