[Gnome] Cursor changes when it overrides qt applications

I use gnome desktop on Archlinux x86_64.
I noticed that sometimes when I pass my mouse over qt applications (like skype, smplayer, qtiplot,...) the cursor changes and it becomes the gnome default cursor. When I move my cursor over the desktop it returns what I have chosen.
I tried changing to other cursors but the result doesn't change.

maybe edit:
/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
have it read:
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=ATER-yellow
Same to local icons as well:
~/.icons/defaults/index.theme
I think what is happening is that the system reverts to default and doesn't know what the default is... if you specify maybe it will work.

Display color changes when I start some applications.

Hello.
Today I reinstalled OSX 10.8.1.
All applications are up2date.
But some applications like iPhoto have a strange behavior. When I start them, the display color changes. It looks like it has a blue fog.
As soon as I close the application it's back to normal. Only happens for a few applications.
In the console I see the following entires when I start the application and the display changes:

Any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks

I had the same problem early on in Mountain Lion - whenever an application kicked in that used the discrete GPU, the screen would get a bluish tint. I 'resolved' the situation by using Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and kept the mode on Integrated Only. This, of course, slowed down some applications but, by and large, I was able to live with it. Then one day - just out of the 'blue' - I decided to switch back to Dynamic Switching: and, lo and behold, by blue tint was gone when the discrete GPU kicked in.
I only know how to temporarily fix the problem - you're one of about a dozen people that have reported it both here and in the Adobe Photoshop users forum. Try the gfxCardStatus 'fix' and then see if the problem doesn't rectify itself after a bit. It wasn't the 10.8.1 update that fixed my problem - it was just a week or so of running on integrated only.
Let me know if this doesn't work for you...

Cursor jumps when typing in all applications

As I type, in any application, the cursor jumps up and inserts itself into a line several lines above. It happens in Mail, Gmail, Pages, Notes, Text/Edit, Microsoft Word, and as I type this document. The problem has existed from when I first got the MacBook a month ago, and continues despite numerous suggested fixes by Apple Care. In addition to the trackpad I use a wireless optical mouse with the nano receiver plugged into computer’s USB port. Earlier I had the mouse in a USB hub; I stopped using the hub. No phones or electronic devices are close to the computer.
When typing I don’t touch the trackpad, but the heel of both hands hovers over its top right and left corners.
The cursor was jumping before I installed Office for Mac, and after it was un-installed during two OS re-installations; MS Word does not seem not to be the culprit. The problem is frequent but intermittent, and hard to isolate or find a trigger. Although not constant, it is distracting and time-consuming to untangle an affected paragraph. I need to use a mouse when typing, but also like to have the trackpad for scrolling and changing documents.
On the advice of Apple advisors, I have:
Erased and re-installed OS 10.9.5 (twice).
Re-installed Pages, Numbers, Keynote.
Re-installed Office for Mac (twice).
Rebooted in safe mode.
Re-set PRAM and cleaned out RAM.
Repeatedly disabled/re-enabled trackpad. (SysPref>Accessibility), trying to isolate issue.
Tried using another mouse.
Tried using trackpad only, no mouse.
Tried changing fonts.
Monitored my typing to see if I am brushing any odd combination of keys (I type fast but make errors).
Could it be a conflict between mouse and trackpad? Am I mistakenly hitting an odd key or key combination? Could it be related to the heat of my hands hovering over trackpad? Grateful for anything that leads to a solution.
MacBook Pro (mid-2014), Retina display. OS 10.9.5 fully updated. 16GB RAM, 512 GB Flash

I had the same problem. Visit http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB4700HI0007R01.htm and you'll find the solution. I hope so.

Why doesn't my cursor change when I click the selection tool?

When I open any file, the object -- in this case, an image -- is already selected.
I want to enlarge the image so I click the buttons to do that. Normally I would pick 125% or 150%, but the dropdown menu does not open. I tried clicking the up arrow/down arrow buttons. Nothing happened. I tried double-clicking on the numbers to type a percentage; tiny blue horizontal bars appear on either side of the default "100" as if the machine is trying to highlight the number, but can't.
I click the Text tool, get the I-beam, and can click in a text box.
After all that, I click the selection tool. Nothing happens. My cursor is an I-beam. I cannot change it to anything else.
I have installed and uninstalled InDesign several times in an effort to correct this and related problems.
Installed from media -- original disks -- encountered problem -- uninstalled & reinstalled -- problem not solved.
Downloaded installation files from Adobe. Same result.
Uninstalled & reinstalled InDesign only. Still no go.
Reimaged computer back to factory settings, created desktop installation point for CS4, installed CS4 from there. Still no go.
Is it possible that there is some kind of incompatibility between CS4 and my computer? It is a new (one week old) Acer Travelmate laptop. Got it from TigerDirect, a trustworthy merchant.
My OS is Windows 7, but this shouldn't be a problem; CS4 runs fine with Windows 7 on another computer in my house (which, unfortunately, is occupied most of the time, or I would use that).
Any ideas at all?
Please help. I have a project deadline coming up and really need this particular computer to work.
Thank you thank you thank you.

Bob! BOB!! You did it!!!
I would give you money if I had money.... The next best thing I can think of to offer thanks is give you a great recipe:
1 pizza crust of your choice
olive oil
8 oz of goat cheese (more or less to suit your taste)
1 medium tomato
6 large cloves of fresh garlic
4-6 oz of sliced black olives (more or less to suit your taste)
fresh or dried basil
For best results, all ingredients should be organic or at least of highest quality available
Oven 350
Pre-heat the oven to 350 (important to do this). Dice the tomato to 1/4-inch bits and dice the garlic to 1/8-bits or as near as you can. Slice the black olives if necessary. Brush the pizza crust with olive oil. Blind bake it for 3 minutes or until two rooms smell really nice.
Spread on the goat cheese. Sprinkle on the basil, tomato, olives and garlic as evenly as you can.
Bake the pie for 15 minutes and check it for doneness to your liking (crispy or not).
Serve with salad and a cold white wine for a nice dinner for two, or cut into 2" squares for appetizers at a party.

[SOLVED] GNOME 3 problem when typing to find application

Hi everybody,
Last night i tried to open an application in GNOME 3 (the last version available), then i pressed the windows key (activities) and tried to type the name of the app. When i typed the second character (i think), the UI restarted, and once i tried it again, it crashed. I tried to disable/uninstall the extensions i currently have in GNOME , but it didn't fix the problem.
Is there a problem with some updates with GNOME?
Thank you for your help.
Jaime

Why the date of the EXE does'n change when I recompile the application?

I made a modification ina an application for a customer and created a new EXE, but its date always shows as July 24, 2000.
The application was originally shipped to the client in february of 2001.
If I look at the properties of the exe, I read:
Date of creation: June 4, 2002
Date of last modification: July 24, 2000
Date of last access: June 12, 2002
So seems that Explorer shows (correctly) the date of last modification, but why LV sets it (incorrectly) to 2000?

IDVD - cursor change on button mouseover?

I'm creating a dvd with hidden "easter eggs" - buttons with no text and no image that you have to click on to access. It would make them easier to find if I could make the cursor change when they are hovered over - does anyone know if this is possible or if there's a plug in I need?

There is one way to do it - create a button with either a symbol or text, and make it the same colour as the background. Obviously this works only if you have a background with solid colours on it.
The button (text or symbol) will still be highlighted with your selected highlight colour when you "mouseover".
I don't think you can create a button containing an invisible character (such as a non-breaking space) but I've never tried it. If this worked, the button would never be visible, selected or unselected, but would still navigate.

[SOLVED]Mouse cursor changes between applications

Hi, everyone this thing is driving me crazy. I'm still searching for some good solution for this.
When i move the mouse cursor over a kde or java application (using gnome) the cursor changes to the system default, that black ugly thing. I know there is a way to do it by changing the default cursor theme, but when i do it kde and java applications don't launch. Someone please explain this on easy words, or some other solution please!

Spry menu bar submenu disappears when cursor changes

Hello.
I've been working with a spry menu bar for some time, but when I expand the submenu and then move the cursor over some text on the page (where the sub-menu is on top of), the submenu disappears. In other words, it seems that when the cursor changes from a pointer to a text cursor, the submenu disappears.
Can anyone tell me how to prevent that from happening?

Sorry, but without a link to your online page, it's a time-wasting, error-prone guessing game.
If you put your test page and all dependent files online, and post a link here, we will gladly check that:
    Your server is working
    That all required HTML code is correct
    That your folder hierarchy is correct
    That all required dependent files (HTML, CSS, JS, Images etc.) are uploaded to proper folders
    That Javascript Versions are correct
    That link paths are all correct and case sensitive
Sounds like your submenus may be positioned with a small gap from your top-level links

My Macbook display changes color when I open applications. It looks like there is a light blue layer over the screen, thus changing the color of my display. This layer goes away when i quit the applications.

I am facing a problem and I am not sure if its a graphic card malfunction. When I open applications like Chrome, VLC player, and most apps, my display suddenly changes color. It is as though the Theme was changed. The normal grey panel on opened windows turns to light blue and everything else seem as though there is a light blue layer on top of it. When I close these applications (quit) the display returns to its normal self.
My MacBook Pro is 2 years old, and I have an extended warranty. Will Apple replace my graphic card if it is actuall the graphic card's problem?

I had that problem, too, and it's been documented both here and on the Adobe forums. What happens is that when you have dynamic switching on, when an application that uses your discrete GPU kicks in, the screen will change color. My problem lasted for a couple of weeks then just vanished.
What you need to do is download Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and turn off dynamic switching and leave your GPU set to discrete only. That's the only fix that I know of at this time. I don't know why it happens or why mine stopped.
Good luck,
Clinton

Gnome-Shell 3.8 freezes a few seconds when i start an application.

Hi!
I've been using GnomeShell for abount 1 year now. But there is an pretty anoying thing with it. When i open (for example google-chrome) the clock stops and i cant click on anything for about 3 seconds. But not only when i start an application but also randomly when i busy with developing PHP etc. Is this an known issue? And is there a way to fix it?
Cheers,
Kevin

I can confirm this issue partially. When I try to search for the application, I type a few letters (depends on the speed of typing) and Gnome freezes for a few seconds.
Probably
extra/tracker
is the cause.
Edit:
I have removed tracker, gnome-photos, gnome-documents, but with no luck - it still lags. I did the trick with:
top > /tmp/top
and proceed everything again. This shown me that the problem was gnome-contacts, which went to the ~70% CPU.
I removed it as well and everything works fine now.

RollOver/MouseOver cursor change bug in external loaded swf

I have a master movie with navigation that loads a external swfs. The external swfs serve different purposes and typically have a series of buttons that navigate the timeline. The external movies with their buttons work fine running individually. When the movies are loaded through the master movie, the buttons in the external movies looses the cursor change on rollOver. These are basic invisible hotspot - button symbols. The buttons typically navigated to different frames. I am curious why the cursor change fails when loaded through the main movie, but works when run on its own.
I have done some searching in Google, but didn't find a similar issue. Any ideas? Throughout all the movies, I probably have over 200 buttons, I don't want to create rollOver and rollOut cursor changes for each. Again, these are basic button symbols.
Any clues?
Dave

Actually, the some of the external movies were created with InDesign - which is the worst application for developing Flash content with.
