I went here and downloaded a theme named Ubuntaero_v1.0. Then I extracted the files to /usr/share/icons. After rebooting the system, the default cursor theme remains, except when moving the mouse over some applications' windows, such as KeepassX.

However, when I take a screenshot of that same window, the outcome shows the default cursor again.

Then I went to terminal:

sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme

The ubuntaero theme is not listed. It seems I am missing something in installing a cursor theme. What could it be?

First of all, change the permission of extracted directory (including sub-directories and files) to 755:

sudo chmod -R 755 cursors/

Then change the theme presented in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme to your Cursor theme

Then Select it in gnome-tweak-tool

I've tried every instructions and it didn't work (default Arrow cursor remained DMZ-White), until i changed the permission.

Hope it helps.
