Installing cursor theme

Hi,

I've download teh Bibata cursor theme: https://github.com/ful1e5/Bibata_Cursor_Rainbow

I copied the svg folder to ~/.icons/Bibata/cursors

settings->mouse->theme shows "Bibata" but no cursors are shown.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Re: Installing cursor theme

Hi!

Put this line to .bashrc

export XCURSOR_PATH=${XCURSOR_PATH}:~/.local/share/icons

Extract the cursors archive to ~/.local/share/icons then go to Wiskermenu > Settings > Mouse and Touchpad > Theme to change the cursor themes.

Bibata it is a fine cursor theme, i use too.
I haven't checked Rainbow yet, but i'll do it later.

Re: Installing cursor theme

Thanks but it's not working.

Following ly/F6WM I copied the theme to ~/.icons & the name shows up in the mouse theme list but no cursors:

Update: I got it to work by downloading from Github the tar file & extracting to ~/.icons, w/o setting $XCURSOR_PATH
