[SOLVED] Different cursor themes in different places in XFCE

Hey,
when I move my mouse cursor over the desktop, it uses the Vanilla-DMZ theme, which is what I've set for it to use in the Mouse config GUI in XFCE. But as soon as I bring up the right-click menu, click the panel or move into a window using GTK, the cursor pointer changes to a very plain, black one. However, moving the cursor over a link in a browser, say, the "pointing hand" is the one from DMZ. What is going on? Also, moving the mouse over VLC (which is the only qt app I use at the moment) shows the proper pointer as the empty desktop does.
Output of xrand -query:
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.hinting: -1
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xcursor.theme: Vanilla-DMZ
Xcursor.theme_core: true
Xcursor.size: 0
Thanks for any help!

Okey, I've done some looking around, and it seems to me that X11 only uses the wrong arrow pointer, and only in places where gtk does the job. In VLC, as mentioned, Vanilla-DMZ is used throughout. But in all gtk-apps, be they gtk2 or gtk3, ONLY the basic arrow pointer is swapped for a very plain, black one. The other icons (resize-window, follow links etc.) are still DMZ.
I've made a symlink called default in ~/.icons/ that points to the Vanilla-DMZ folder in /usr/share/icons/, but this didn't help. I've also removed the parts that specify the cursor theme in ~/.config/xfce4/something/xsettings.xml and did a logout-login, but the problem presented just like before, only now xrdb -query reported
Xcursor.theme:
Nobody else experienced this before?

How to display different FBSPLASH theme on different console?

Is it possible to do this?
Use different theme on different console/vc/tty ?
Sorry that I didn't make myself clear. I was asking about fbsplash themes.

I believe so, my .zshrc looks like this, but you should be able to adjust this to fit your needs:
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/vc/1 ]]; then
# If I'm logging in from the virtual terminal, and DISPLAY isn't set
# then run startx. When it's done (when I stop X) log me out
startx
logout
fi
You could change that to just check for which vc you are on, and adjust your environment accordingly.

How do you tell two different cursors to move to different places?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find the answer anywhere.
As I said, I'm trying to get two different cursors to move to two different places on the same graph. I have the values I want them to go to, I'm just not sure which function or command to use. I'm using LabVIEW 8.6. Thanks for any help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

WCR,
You would have to use the property nodes of the graph to move the cursors programmatically. The properties of interest are Active Cursor and Cursor Position > X and Cursor Position > Y. Use the Active Cursor to specify (by cursor index) which cursor you want to work with, then set the X and Y property values, then set the next cursor as the Active Cursor and set its X and Y property values.

How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles?

How can I move all my bookmarks from different Firefox profiles (would like to move whole bookmark folders at once if possible) into one area to organize them and then place them into the different Firefox profiles? This is all under one window user account, I am using windows 8.1. Even if you have information on how to do it on a different windows, it may still be helpful. Thanks for any input you have.

Just a note about the difference between these two things:
* "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
* "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.
Related support articles:
* [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from a HTML file]]
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites].

i cannot type a capital i using the left shift key. also keyboard now putting the cursor in a different place than where i type while i am typing. Checked speech keys, all fine. Batteries fine. Also used the keyboard check program on the imac, shows key ok.
wireless mouse will suddenly scroll down horizontally and won't stop. when i am on a webpage it will bounce back to the previous page without my doing so. i have tried adjusting the mouse several times, turning it on and off, and now am using my wacom mouse which also seems to have issues with this computer. i have only had this a few months and getting very frustrated.

Can you try a different keyboard to see if the problem persists? Also, you have 90 days of phone support when you buy a mew mac.

Satellite P300: cursor jumps to different positions while typing

Hi All,
i have a Satellite P300,
I am having trouble when i type.
When i am typing using the keyboard, the first couple of words are ok, but then the words start typing in the wrong place, eg back further into the middle of the sentence i am typing.
Anybody please help? thanks

Hi dude
I had a similar issue.
While typing the cursor jumped to different positions and I was not able to finish one sentence.
I though there could be something wrong with the keyboard but finally I have notices that I have touched the touchpad surface accidentally while typing ?.
I have disabled the touchpad using the Fn+F9 and the issues has gone
So maybe its the same reason for you

Opening different cursor under same name?

I have a problem that depending on a if statement I want to open two different cursors. The cursors have the same format for their ROWTYPE. Like:
CURSOR a_cur IS SELECT a,b FROM c WHERE d=e;
CURSOR b_cur IS SELECT a,b, FROM c WHERE d<>e;
Then I want to run the same logic in the fetch loop no mater if I opened a_cur or b_cur. At the moment the logic is replicated in the code, but I would like to avoid this. Is it possible to open either one of them as a alias and then run the fetch loop on the alias. Some thing like this:
DECLARE
g_val a_cur%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
IF f=1 THEN
OPEN a_cur as opened_cursor;
ELSE
OPEN b_cur as opened_cursor;
FOR g_val IN opened_cursor LOOP
<lots of logic>
END LOOP;

Here is an example of using a REF CURSOR:
create table t
(x int)
insert into t
select rownum
from all_objects
where rownum <=10
declare
   rc sys_refcursor;
   rec t%rowtype;
   condition varchar2(1) := 'E';
begin
   if condition = 'E' -- Even Numbers only
   then
      open rc for select *
                    from t
                   where Mod (x, 2) = 0
   elsif condition = 'O' -- Odd Numbers
   then
      open rc for select *
                    from t
                   where Mod (x, 2) = 1
   end if;
   loop
      fetch rc into rec;
      exit when rc%notfound;
      Dbms_Output.Put_Line (rec.x);
   end loop;
end;

[solved] Cursor themes are not consistant

I'm using XFCE and I have a few cursor themes in /usr/share/icons. I switched to a different theme in the Mouse settings, but the cursor only appears when hovering over applications. Over the XFCE desktop, it's the default black theme. How can I fix this?
Last edited by synthead (2008-04-16 01:24:36)

Hm, I'm still having the same problem. Sometimes the default black x mouse cursor comes through, for example in firefox. This only happens in XFCE, not in IceWM or KDE. What's wrong here? Why are the mouse theme settings in the XCFE settings not consistent?
I've additionally set my mouse theme in .Xdefaults. It's weird...

How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?

Hi,
We have to do some validation on Header, Operation and Relationship of any work order (IW31, IW32). We have checked that validations can be done at BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE in the method u2018AT_SAVEu2019. But user wants us to take the Cursor back to the field and screen due to which the error is coming. How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?
Thanks in Advance,

You 'ran out of room' because you tried to put your entire question into what is the 'Topic line' of the post.
This is a fairly common error, as a scan of the topic list will show, and likely due to a design flaw in the layout of the composition page.
Most posters who make this error do so on their first post, and are able to avoid a similar misstep on their second and subsequent questions.

How to clear a tree at runtime when built via many different cursors?

I want to be able to clear an entire tree.
I have a tree that contains different levels of information about a client. At runtime I build my tree with the add_tree_node function using several different cursors. When the user queries a different client, I want to clear the tree and start over with node 1. Is there a way to clear the entire tree before I re-populate it, so that my nodes start afresh? Right now, I am deleting all the nodes from the tree before I start building the new tree. This, however, does not make my nodes start from 1. I would really like to be able to just clear the tree.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Tina

Using different themes on different pages?

Is there a way to use a different theme on different pages in a Keynote presentation? So, maybe one look on one slide and another on another slide?

I'm sure that there are multiple ways to accomplish this, but the one that occurs to me off the top of my head is to select the slides you want to change, pull up the Theme Chooser, and at the bottom it'll give you the option of applying the new themes to just the selected slides...
I've had several themes active within the same presentation with no problem.

The screen where my apps show on all the pages is not letting me drag them. The screen looks kind of gray. What do I do to be able to move them to different home screens, and check, and uncheck the apps in the list
