How do I change the cursor theme?

[Jorysm]

Please tell me how to change the cursor theme. Alpina Linux OS. Only wayfire is installed. The breeze-cursor theme was installed. But I couldn't change the theme, as it always remained default. Changes to WCM and editing wayfire.ini did not work. I wonder where the default cursor theme is located?

[mark-herbert42]

In gtk3 based apps the theme is defined in dconf , org.gnome.desktop.cursor-theme

it is hardcoded fof gtk3 with wayland to use only or,gnome setings no matter if you use gnome or wayfire or comething different. So over gtk3 apps (anf firefox and chrome are gtk3 apps) - it will use dconf cursor. when over wayfire background - it will switch to WCM setting.

Mate-control-center from git (not sure about rellease version) is modified to control gtk3 settings in wayland. Maybe xfce4 too - not sure again.

It's not entirely clear, but I'll look into it. One more question: where should I save the cursor theme for WCM to see it? Wayfire is installed using the wf-install script.

I tried to change the cursor theme through gsetting

gsettings set "$gnome-schema" cursor-theme 'Breeze'

I get an error

An empty schema name is specified

What kind of schema should you use?

I use dconf-editor to change parameters. there you can see tree gontent,. But quick google shows the command line version

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme cursor_theme_name

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size cursor_theme_size

Thank you for your help. I found the problem. The gsettings-desktop-schemas package was missing.
