[Solved] Missing mouse theme integration in QT applications

#1 Post by dreamer »

I'm using Breeze mouse theme from the repos and I'm not seeing any mouse theme integration in QT applications. Anyone else seeing this?
QT apps seem to fallback to "generic" mouse theme.

on my system, cursor theme changes in Qt will be picked up after a login/logout

tested with "obsidian" mouse cursor theme

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

The integration was only missing in MXPI and other QT programs running as root. KDE is a known "theme breaker" so I proceeded to completely remove a bunch of (maybe 200) KDE related packages in Synaptic. That did the trick. :popcorn: It's kind of strange, but I'm glad it worked.

Root has its own theming. You'll have to run the appearance settings as root to set the cursor theme--for KDE, "kdesu systemsettings5" if you've set the symlink for kdesu as has been suggested in the past.

Yes, that's true. I didn't think about that because root GTK apps like Synaptic automatically follow user set mouse theme in XFCE and without KDE installed this is true for root QT apps as well.
