Hi all. I’m running i3/X and am having a weird issue with mouse cursors.
- The cursor always renders correctly (i.e. it’s never an “X” or anything like that)
- When hovering over a textbox, the mouse always changes to a typing indicator like you’d expect
- When hovering over something clickable, the mouse usually doesn’t change into a pointer finger
I say usually because it works fine in emacs and nheko, but not firefox, keepassxc, kicad, or thunar. I also tried chromium which is interesting; it’s broken for anything that’s native to chrome (like the tab buttons etc.) but it works fine in the dom.
I tried updating my Nix config to use a different mouse cursor. I found it consistently updated properly in every program, but the hovering behaviour was identical as before.
My Nix config is split across a bunch of files in a private repo so it’s not easy to upload the whole thing. Here are a few potentially(?) relevant snippets though:
# home manager
gtk = {
enable = true;
gtk3.extraConfig.gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = 1;
};
fonts = {
packages = with pkgs; [
nerd-fonts.noto
noto-fonts
font-awesome
];
enableDefaultPackages = true;
};
Thanks in advance!
