Mouse Cursor is white box on Gnome Desktop after fleek setup

I seem to have broken my cursor on the desktop after setting up the fleek environment. All I did was add Bling: High to the config file and apply the changes. After a reboot my mouse cursor becomes a white box when hovering over the desktop and when grabbing and moving windows. I tried rebooting as well as a rollback, but neither helped. I tried to use a different cursor pack but the folder I usually use to put those themes in are read only on bazzite I guess.

if you open GNOME Tweaks, what's your cursor set to?

there's some tools in fleek to 100% clean itself so this should be fixable

Sounds awesome. I will ask there and post it in this thread if I fix it

/usr/share/icons isn't writeable, but custom cursors can live in ~/.icons 👍

I will try that as well! Thank you! Creating that folder and throwing a custom cursor in there fixes the issue, and that is a solution I am happy with, but switching back to Adwaita does make the problem reappear.

Can't recommend posy's cursor enough, it's what I'm using Also don't forget to globally add ~/.icons:ro to your flatpaks with flatseal So they get the cursor too

I wanted to update this thread that I have noticed other icons missing around my OS. The wifi icon is gone as well as the star icons in the software center

Nvm swapping the icon theme to something else and then switching it back to adwaita fixed it for whatever reason. odd!
