| a cursor theme selection script for some
Apr 10 2016 on content Ultimate Serie for right handed |
I use the following script when I switch between one of your cursor themes :-)
I thought I might share this simple bash script (to be used by simply entering appropriate values displayed with a strong emphasis) here as it might perhaps be helpful for some users of Ubuntu/Gnome Desktop Environments:
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
# Add the cursor theme to the corresponding group of alternatives
sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme" x-cursor-theme "$HOME/.icons/<CursorThemeName>/index.theme" <CursorSize>
# Choose the cursor theme
sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
# Apply the user's cursor theme
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme <CursorThemeName>
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size <CursorSize>
# Modify the user's .Xresources file
sed -i "s/^Xcursor\.theme\:\s*.\+$/Xcursor\.theme\: <CursorThemeName>/g" "$HOME/.Xresources"
sed -i "s/^Xcursor\.size\:\s*.\+$/Xcursor\.size\: <CursorSize>/g" "$HOME/.Xresources"
#Restart computer
sudo reboot

I think it's a bright idea to make an "all-in-one" cursor theme, but - as it often happens with such bright new ideas - developers of this or that desktop environment are not yet ready for this it seems ;-)
The problem with Unity is the cursor size setting.
Unity does not provide this setting in its shiny GUI! You have to enter a terminal command like "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 35" (for a medium-size sky-blue cursor) which apparently Unity does not like ;-) Probably developers thought they should correct any possible wrong setting that might be entered by users. So after each login this cursor-size is automatically "corrected" by changing it to 24!
I think this should be considered as a Unity bug as they should allow users to use any sensible size for their cursor.
But until they change this behavior it seems Unity users should either choose another cursor theme or add a small startup script to apply this "unusual" cursor-size every time they login. |
