LightDM GTK Greeter

Cursor theme

Asked by João Guerra

Hello,

Is there a way to customize the cursor theme? I've been looking at data/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and it doesn't seem so.

Meh, don't expire it. Bad rule imho.

Sorry for so long response.
There are no difficulties to implement this, maybe later - as part of larger changes (low priority).

FreeNode#Earnestly commited a patch which enables Custom Cursor Support.

Here is the Package: https://ptpb.pw/doXG.tar.gz

Just put into your lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf the option »cursor-theme-name = <cursortheme>« and it will work!

Thanks to him!

was this fix ever pushed into the main source? Or is this fixed only in the tar file above?

FWIW I independently came up with a patch that allows changing cursor theme as well as cursor size, I submitted the changes here https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eppbogdan/lightdm-gtk-greeter/cursor-theme/+merge/324378 (currently waiting to be reviewed).

Can you help with this problem?
