Users with impaired vision absolutely depend on the ability to increase the mouse pointer size and color.Īlso sddm is pretty nice lightwight and has very less dependencies. Switching the cursor theme is for me more important as a high configurable DM like lightdm, because this is a accessibility issue. I'm really thinking about switching to sddm for f21. Ie, with yumex or firefox you see the theme which is set in mate-appearance properties, if you move with the mouse over the empty desktop you see what is set in indextheme.īut i don't wanna make you unecessary work, if it's not fixable it's OK. It has taken a very long time for me to find out that lightdm did cause the issue.Īlso only with lightdm the cursor theme switch in session if you move over some apps, between what is set in index.theme and mate-appearance properties You can test it in a VM, it's 100% reproducable. If i use lightdm, the DM hardcoded the setting in session, you can't switch the theme anymore. session starts and use the theme which is set in mate-appearance properties and you can switch there the cursour theme as you like.īut this works only with sddm or gdm in my tests. if no cursor theme is set in DM configuration the DM use what is writen in index.theme. There is no need to change /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme. Otherwise i'm thinking about switching to ssdm for f21. OK, let see what lightdm maintainer thinks about that, maybe it is fixable. With ssdm or gdm as display manager (without autologin) we have the same situation as in (2). Using autologin in lightdm don't set the cursor theme and it's possible to switch the theme with mate-appearance properties (with marco) or ccsm (if compiz is running).ģ. Using lightdm in default configuration with any windows-manger, it's not possible to switch the cursor theme with mate-appearance properties or ccsm.Ģ. This doesn't work if lightdm is used as display manager.ġ. So compiz user have a possibility to switch the cursor theme.
Starting the session from sddm or gdm and without compiz brings the mate cursor theme and i can happy switch the theme with mate-appearance properties.īut with compiz enable i can switch the theme with the ccsm configuration tool. I found out that also compiz sets the cursor theme.
