Cursor changes back to default in sddms

Help
1

Hi, I generally didn’t like the look of sddm so I installed sddm-kcm and just chose “Apply Plasma Settings”.
Every single setting stays but cursor reverts back to normal which is a tiny cursor. How do I make it use whatever cursor I want?

Upgrade to the latest released version of Plasma which fixes this. :slight_smile: IIRC the fix it in 5.27.3 or 5.27.4.

Hi, I’m on Plasma v5.27.4.

Hmm, that’s weird. Can you paste the contents of /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf?

Oh my mistake, sorry. This has been implemented but only for Plasma 6. It couldn’t be backported since it contains a new string. See Sync cursor size too (!41) · Merge requests · Plasma / SDDM KCM · GitLab

I’ve proposed backporting the backportable non-string-change parts: Sync cursor size too (!43) · Merge requests · Plasma / SDDM KCM · GitLab
