Cursor Issues

Hello! Searching for some help here, I installed some official Cursors like "Sweet Cursors", and they work propertly on desktop, Dolphin and some other apps, but on some others like Brave or Discord, they turn a "default" cursor, someone knows why? Example video i found here: https://packaged-media.redd.it/xhiu8qyndmte1/pb/m2-res_1080p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1754334000&s=d8d46bf827cb1538a42e2a80e184ec293100d7c3#t=0.580177 EDIT: Also the window controls, like Maximize, Minimize or Close doesnt change at all, only on Brave and Discord
Solution:
flatpak --user override --filesystem=/home/$USER/.icons/:ro this is how you make it globally for every flatpak app

Are you using gnome or KDE? because I wonder if this is being caused by some apps using GTK ๐Ÿค” Also could be entirely something to do with flatpak

Try adding the theme to the filesystem permissions in flatseal. https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/Desktop_Environment_Tweaks/#icon-cursor-themes

other solution is to run applications as flatpak, there is wayland extension for this and most application should support it by now
