SUMMARY On X11, whichever cursor theme I select, nothing changes. Moreover, if a non-Breeze theme is selected, hovering the panel still shows the Breeze cursor. This happens even after a full reboot. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Apply any theme that's not Breeze. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT The selected theme is applied. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thanks for the bug report. I can reproduce the behavior you describe on X11 (not on Wayland). When I log out and back into X11, however, the new cursor theme is used all the time as expected. For testing I used these cursors Layan - Neon Testing Night Diamon - git-master In Wayland, on either system, the cursor immediately reflects the new theme everywhere. After you log out and back into X11, do you see the new cursor theme used or not?
Unfortunately I don't. I had to reboot the computer and even after a full reboot there was no change.
On X11, generally it's expected that you need to reboot after this to make it fully take effect everywhere, as Tracey indicated. We could add an info message saying this. However if in your case the new cursor theme *never* takes effect, it seems like a different problem.
