I had this problem a while back with a fresh install of testing. I don’t remember exactly all the steps that fixed it, but it was something along the lines of setting the theme to be something other than the default, like Breeze Dark, then setting it back to Breeze, then resetting the cursor theme to Breeze Light.

Something about toggling things back and forth reset whatever is needed to also apply to GTK applications.

Of course, in sid there might be something else going on. But I would at least start with that.

Hello!

Today I faced an interesting problem. After a clean KDE installation in Debian Sid the default theme was Breeze, which is ok for me, but I changed the cursor theme to Breeze light, just because I'm used to white cursors...

But soon I noticed the cursor changed to a black one over GTK applications (for example Chrome)... so I have white or black cursors depending on the program I'm running.

In Settings --> Application Style --> GNOME/GTK Application Style the only available options are Breeze, default and Emacs, but all of them produce black cursors over GTK applications.

How Can I have a Breeze-light like cursors over GTK applications? A quick search in Debian packages does not show anything like breeze-light-gtk-theme-kde or even similar.

Thanks in advance.

I just had an opportunity to do a fresh bookworm install and encountered the same problem. I was able to fix it with the following steps.

1. Change the main theme from Breeze Dark to Breeze.
2. Change the cursor theme from Breeze to Breeze Light.

At this point, I rebooted for other reasons. That probably isn’t needed, but
I mention it just in case.

I then opened a GTK app an noticed that the cursor was displaying dark just inside the app.

3. Change the cursor theme from Breeze Light to Breeze.
4. Change the cursor theme from Breeze back to Breeze Light.

This resolved the problem on bookworm for any GTK app opened after completing step 4. Sid might be a little different.

After spending some time changing themes back and forth I achieved
something funny in QT applications: white cursor over window title and
black cursor over window content. It seems something is messed up with KDE themes, both in QT and GTK.

I left the black cursors for now... at least they are consistent everywhere.

Thank you for the suggestions
