Hello,

I set my system to the Bluecurve cursor scheme in KDE 4 System Settings, I also have /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme pointing to it. However, Qt 5 apps completely ignore all my efforts to make my system look consistently and instead use a custom theme — for example, here’s the “wait” cursor (it’s not even KDE-Classic, the watch is white instead of black).

How can I get fix this?

I had similar issues. What I ended up doing was putting everything under ~/.icons:

.icons/ default/ cursors -> ../mytheme/cursors index.theme mytheme/ cursors index.theme

Where default/index.theme contains:

[Icon Theme] Inherits=MyThemeName

I also had to create quite few symlinks in mytheme/cursors for the cursor-names which were missing (there are lots of aliases). The relevant cursor-names can be found by looking at some of the other cursor themes in /usr/share/icons.

This does not seem to work (though I haven’t logged out to test yet). Qt 5.5.0 should fix this though: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-30016#comment-250426 -- Chris Warrick https://chriswarrick.com/ PGP: 5EAAEA16
