#99 Set SDDM default cursor to Breeze
Closed: Fixed by ngompa. Opened by eiglow.

Reopen Issue

Pretty minor issue, but I just noticed now that the SDDM cursor on my fairly fresh F34 install is Adwaita.

I think the way to correct this manually is to go into System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Login Screen (SDDM) > Synchronise Settings. But it would be nice if this was already done out of the box.

Still an issue on F35 and F36 beta 1.4 ISO.

From my understanding, we need to add a folder in https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/kde-settings/blob/rawhide/f/etc

called sddm.conf.d

In there we need a fedora_settings.conf or similar with:

[Theme]
CursorTheme=breeze

I've been doing some tests and my conclusion is that we should add a file: /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf with contents:

[Theme]
CursorTheme=breeze_cursors

The file name is important, kde will use /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf whenever it syncs the plasma configs with sddm so we should use that name to be able to override the system settings.
