SUMMARY *** I upgraded my Arch Linux laptop to Plasma 6, and my beloved Oxygen Yellow Cursor is not visible. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Arch Linux with plasma-meta 2. Switch global theme to Breeze Twilight 3. Switch Cursor to Oxygen Yellow 4. Upgrade to Plasma 6 Alpha Release 5. Cursor is not visible OBSERVED RESULT Cursor is not visible EXPECTED RESULT Cursor is visible ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I can tell it is working because when I go back to System Settings > Cursor I can see the selections change as I mouse over them.
The "it" that I can see working is the invisble mouse pointer.
With today's update: [2023-12-10T12:43:26-0500] [ALPM] upgraded oxygen (5.90.0-1 -> 5.90.0-2) I can see my Oxygen Yellow Cursor, but is always looks like the I-Beam for text entry rather than switching to the arrow, finger, etc.
I have the same issue. The Oxygen yellow and also the Oxygen Red Ruby cursor becomes invisible after installing on openSUSE Krypton (Plasma 6) and then logging out and back in. The software is up-to-date. The cursor worked at first but after logging out and back in it's not visible and the only way to interact is to move the mouse until the invisible cursor lands on and highlights the option I want to click on.
On KaOS with Plasma 6, with Oxygen packaged as 5.91, it almost seems as if the Oxygen cursor is "reluctant" to change shape back to a pointer. I have had it remain as a finger, an I-Beam, and a column re-sizer rather than switch to a pointer.
Since switching from Wayland to x11 resolves this, changing product from Oxygen to Kwin.
I cannot reproduce it
If you switch between breeze and oxygen yellow cursor themes in plasma 6 back and forth, is oxygen yellow cursor visible after that?
In Wayland?
Starting with x11: Oxygen Yellow Cursor visible. Reboot. Select Plasma-Wayland in SDDM. Login. Oxygen Yellow Cursor invisible. System Settings > Cursors > Breeze > Apply. Breeze Cursor immediately visible.
