The cursor that displays over desktop icons and links in Firefox, among other places -- a little black hand pointing up -- is really ugly. (At least I think so.) How can it be changed? Appearance Preferences->Theme->Customize Theme allows changing the default cursor but not others.
I was confused because only one cursor-theme was installed, namely dmz-cursor-theme (the default), which made gnome cursor control System->Preferences->Appearance->Customize Theme->Pointer seem not to be good for anything. As soon as I loaded some other themes, namely: bluecurve-cursor-theme-8.0.2.5.fc12.noarch moblin-cursor-theme-0.3.2.noarch oxygen-cursor-themes-4.4.3.1.fc13.1.noarch this choice box became very useful.
Same question for the whirling circle that displays when the system is busy.
This may be better too. Haven't been able to check so far.
Actually, on my F13 netbook, (at least) some apps still display the ugly black wait-busy icon, while others (firefox, at least) use the white hand with whirling blue stuff around it. This is after installing all the gnome bluecurve stuff I could find.
