I have the cursor theme that I want, but how do I install it? Do I have to move it to a folder, then go to Ubuntu Tweak or MyUnity for example and choose it from there?

Thanks

What type of file is it? Are you running Unity? – Mitch Jul 29 '12 at 9:07
@Mitch In the folder I have a index.theme file and a folder called "cursors" with many "image/x-xcursor" files in it. And I am using unity but that shouldn’t matter. – jaorizabal Jul 29 '12 at 12:07

just copy your downloaded files to your .icons (ctrl+h to see it) folder located in your home directory. Create a folder then paste the index.theme, cursor.theme files and the folder of the cursors inside it. Use Ubuntu Tweak to choose it.

Thanks that worked but the cursor only changes when I'm in an application. Not on the desktop, or the file manager, etc. How do I fix this? – jaorizabal Aug 5 '12 at 15:39
