Can't set xcursor-theme

I recently wanted to set my cursor theme to xcursor-theme which is supposed to be part of the desktop-assets bundle, but it doesn’t appear on gnome tweaks. I’m using version 31130 with gnome.


Is it a bug or am I doing something the wrong way?

The xcursor-themes installs the following cursor themes:

  • Handhelds
  • Redglass
  • Whiteglass

I can see all 3 in gnome-tweaks, and, some appear in your screenshot as well.

Oh… okay. Thank you.

For future reference how can I see what a non-bundle installs with it? Because when I search on the CL Software site for xcursor-themes only bundles show up, but not the “package” (don’t know how to call it) itself.

I actually went to the archlinux site to find the filelist for this starting from this page:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cursor_themes

and eventually getting to this page:

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=xcursor-&maintainer=&last_update=&flagged=&limit=50

There you will see the xcursor-themes. Click on the name and it will show the contents. Expand the package contents list. You’ll notice that we have these installed in the /usr/share/icons directory as part of the bundle-add.
