[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#603484: Bug#603484: xfce4-settings: Changing Mouse Cursor Theme Has No Effect

[Amir Dizdarević]

I did:

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends dmz-cursor-theme.


The package makes a symlink in /usr/share/icons/default , making the
white version of it the default cursor. I tried setting the black version of
the theme in Xfce, and also tried to make it bigger. The result was what I
stated before.
