Just got a cursom theme

[coolranch]

I just went and got this cursor theme.

it is really nice, but I dont understand why it disappears when I leave my web browser. It goes back to the original white icon when I mouse back over to a web page it comes back, It is quite annoying haha.

See http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz_Troubleshooting last section (Unable to change cursor theme), there are also many other forum posts / bug reports concerning this bug with suggested workarounds.

Sometimes you need to log out and back in before the cursor theme is completely set. I always select Default as theme, install cursors in /usr/share/icons and put the cursor name in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme. This is the contents of the file:

[Icon Theme]
Inherits = Point-Black-Small
The name must be the same as the folder name that holds your theme.

My method makes the cursors available for the whole system, not just the user.
