Rudge added a thread here with a similar tip.įirefox on KDE all but REFUSES to show a black mouse pointer within the application. This is what the file looks like on my system: I wanted the mouse cursor theme to be Oxygen Blue across all applications. Logout and back in for the settings to take effect. Then click File > Save to save the settings. To change the size, edit the line cursorSize=. kde > share > config > kcminputrc, and open it in a simple text editor. I use the Dolphin File Manager, if you're using a different file manager, getting to the needed file may be a little different. This will keep the mouse cursor the same over all applications.įirst go into System Settings > Appearance > Workspace Theme > Cursor Theme, then pick a color theme and click Apply. I have my mouse cursor set to Oxygen Blue in System Settings, but when I would open FireFox the mouse cursor color would change white, just one of those little things, that really bugged me.
