The mouse theme shows up in the web browser and software center, as well as the update manger. However, it goes to defaults on the desktop. Can it be fixed?

I am using the azenis mouse theme, with Natty Beta 1. got swich to natty beta 2 and still the problem

This is because Unity is compiz based, to fix this: sudo gedit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme or gksu gedit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme and change the cursor name. (source: forums)

Try "galternatives" from the software centre, this allows the x-server cursor to be set, thus the cursor is set before you log in and should hold

Ubuntu 10.04, as well as 11.10, supporting Unity, A BUG mixes cursor themes ?! Nevertheless doing :

sudo gedit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme

as suggested - does not help, because in ../icons/default/ directory only shortcut to your theme exists and Unity mix it with the default DMZ-White (black). I am using oxygen theme, after installing it with package manager - type 'oxygen cursor' I did the following :

I have tried to copy under 'gksudo nautilus' all content of ../icons/oxy-white/* to the ../icons/default/ directory - and GREAT !!! ... after the restart it works PERFECTLY !!!

P.S. I am using LinuxMint 11 Katya / Ubuntu 11.10
