dwm (or X) doesn't remember current cursor

I'm using lxappearance to manage GTK settings and everything worked fine. But now cursor defaults to adwaita theme, while in every file phinger-cursor-light is set. It's really annoying especially when phinger cursor looks fine in firefox, but when I moved it on dwm bar it falls back to adwaita.

The solution is quite simple:

Code: [Select]
sudo-i
rm /usr/share/icons/default/cursors
printf 'Inherits=YOUR CURSOR THEME' > /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
sed -i "s/#IgnorePkg   =/IgnorePkg   = default-cursors/g" /etc/pacman.conf
exit
After re-login, the inconvenience is gone.

In the long run, you can get rid of the "adwaita-cursor-feature" by changing the PKGBUILD of default-cursors package to your own preferences.

Artix USE="runit openrc slim openbox lxde gtk2 qt4 qt5 qt6 conky
-gtk3 -gtk4 -adwaita{cursors,themes,icons} -gnome3 -kde -plasma -wayland "

Thanks a lot!
Changing simlink in PKGBUILD and adding ignored package in pacman.conf worked!
