Thanks for the screen recording; it's very clear. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue shown: newly installed cursor themes look correct to me, and don't either fail to show up or show a preview of the Breeze cursor theme.

As long as it doesn't affect KDE as a whole it doesn't matter, This bug has been affecting me for a couple of months, I only reported it after reading your blog post about not enough people submitting bug reports and I felt guilty about knowing about this bug for a while and submitting a bug report, but it turns out it's me only bug anyways xD. Thank you and the rest of the KDE contributors for creating an amazing DE. You're very welcome! The thing is, clearly there's a bug *somewhere*. The fact that I can't reproduce it as you can means there's some subtle difference in either how our systems are set up, or what we're doing. We can re-open this if anyone ever manages to figure out a consistent way to reproduce it. |
Created attachment 178464 [details] Video demeonstrating the bug and how to reproduce it SUMMARY Seems like there is a bug that makes user installed cursors no longer work on KDE, i don't know if this has been an issue n prior versions of KDE, i only tried changing the cursor because of the gtk 4 giant cursor bug. Interestingly if I install a cursor theme through the package manager or add it to the "/usr/share/icons" it shows up and works fine like the bibata cursor in the video. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a theme to ~/.local/share/icons or install it from the KDE cursor manager 2. Try to select it OBSERVED RESULT It will either not be there or look like breeze. EXPECTED RESULT The theme I selected is used SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Kernel Version: 6.13.2-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2
