Is there anyway for me to tell i3 to use KDE's oxygen theme for my mouse cursor?
You can configure your Xcursor theme in a dotfile, usually ~/.Xresources (more info).
Then after you install the cursor theme with your package manager, add a line like this:
! cursor
Xcursor.theme: FlatbedCursors.Black.Regular
And a line to your xorg startup file (like ~/.xinitrc) to source it like this:
xrdb ~/.Xresources &
And then restart your X server.
It's not quite working for me. I ran "echo 'Xcursor.theme: Oxygen\_White' | xrdb -" and my cursor stayed on the default. However, running "xrdb -query Xcursor.theme" now gives the output: "Xcursor.theme: Oxygen\_White" I have the theme installed in "/usr/share/icons/Oxygen_White".
