Firefox using default X11 mouse icons

baryonyx · 01-24-2007, 11:35 PM

I'm using XFCE 4.4 and have a customized mouse cursor theme set but when I move the mouse over a firefox window it reverts back to the small black default X11 icons. Any gnome or kde apps I launch use the right mouse theme so it seems to be only firefox (and gdm) where this is happening.

I have the qt-gtk-engine installed but there doesn't seem to be a xfce-gtk corollary.

I'm running Arch .72 and firefox 2.0.0.1

It's a small issue but I spend 90% of my time in firefox.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

Have you tried a reboot? I have had this problem with certain apps after a mouse cursor change and a reboot of the system usually fixes the problem.

No good but thanks for the reply.

Man, it's the little things that really get on your nerves,

For the record, the solution was to make a symlink under /usr/share/icons for default pointing to the icon set I wanted to use. That took care of the problem for firefox and GDM.

Glad you got it sorted out, thanks for posting the solution. Wish I could have been more help to you.
