Install a cursor theme you like. They're in the x11-themes group. |
| 12 |
Personally I use x11-themes/vanilla-dmz-xcursors. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The default X.Org cursors are in the package |
| 15 |
"x11-themes/xcursor-themes". It provides three cursor themes: |
| 16 |
"whiteglass", "redclass" and "handhelds". |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The plain black cursor that most people refer to as "default" is |
| 19 |
actually part of KDE. I assume that Gnome also had something similar |
| 20 |
and they might have dropped them in recent versions (it might suck for |
| 21 |
you, but people simply don't like them :-P) You can see what cursors |
| 22 |
are installed in /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/. If it's not there, you |
| 23 |
can't use it. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Again, I recommend you give "x11-themes/vanilla-dmz-xcursors" (white) |
| 26 |
and "x11-themes/vanilla-dmz-aa-xcursors" (black) a try. It's what most |
| 27 |
Gnome distros use (the Oxygen cursors of KDE are a disaster.) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
To see all packages providing cursor theme: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
eix x11-themes/ | grep -i cursor |
