| The
'stuck' busy mouse cursor fix. This problem is where the mouse randomly spins as if busy is annoying. It is a bug where the mouse cursor gets stuck with the busy cursor. This fix just changes the busy cursor to a normal pointer. For this to work, you need to install a custom mouse theme, e.g Chameleon-White. To do that first have a look here. In a Terminal, go to where the cursors are; cd
/usr/share/icons/Chameleon-White-Large/cursors
Make a backup of the busy cursor (watch) then link it to the normal cursor (left_ptr); mv watch
watch.old
ln -s left_ptr watch Do the same for left_ptr_watch busy cursor
mv left_ptr_watch
left_ptr_watch.old
ln -s left_ptr left_ptr_watch That's it. The missing Pointing Hand Fix Here is a siimilar fix for the 'pointing hand' cursor not showing up sometimes if you are using the pcmanfm desktop manager. mv pointing_hand
pointing_hand.old
ln -s hand2 pointing_hand End. |
