Different cursor theme hovering background and windows

Help
1

Hello!

Cursors have been very difficult to learn. Slowly I am getting there.

I was using KDE before, which I was creating some of these configs automatically, but I have transitioned to leftwm and removed kde.

Currently my cursor is currently my desired theme on all of the windows and polybar, but when I hover over the wallpaper it is a default, or something set somewhere.

I am currently using home manager

  home.pointerCursor = {
  name = "phinger-cursors-dark";
  package = pkgs.phinger-cursors;
  size = 24;
};

  gtk = {
    enable = true;
    gtk2.extraConfig =
      "gtk-theme-name = 'phinger-cursors-dark';";
    gtk3.extraConfig = {
      gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true;
      gtk-theme-name="Nordic";
    };
    gtk4.extraConfig = {
      gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true;
      gtk-theme-name="Nordic";
    };
  };

Here is my ~/.Xresources

Xcursor.size: 24
Xcursor.theme: phinger-cursors-dark

Can anyone please give me some guidance about which config file manages the cursor theme when I hover over my wallpaper?

Many thanks

Did the same but from Gnome to KDE then back to Gnome (from KDE).
KDE left a bunch of theme’s related configs in /home/$USER directory.

Have a look if any left-over that would override your current config.
