##### What operating system are you using? Ubuntu 16.04 (installed server editi…on, then added gnome desktop with `tasksel`) ##### What version of Mailspring are you using? 1.0.10-d250d253 **Bug?** Mouse cursor is different from what I selected in Tweak Tool (Breeze-Snow), as if it was hardcoded in Mailspring. It happened me in a couple apps but they were using mono and I could actually fix those (like they used some kind of fallback default, and changing that default to my cursor theme). Can't do the same here apparently. Since Mailspring is styled through CSS, can it be that the cursors are stored somewhere and I can overwrite them or something?

Description

Mouse cursor is different from the system-wide selected cursor. This is related to Snapcraft, and has been confirmed as of December 2020 and January 2021.

One user suggests a fix:

It looks like it might be as simple as setting the XCURSOR_PATH env var in the mailspring snap:
ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers@4008601

Screenshots

Setup

Exists on multiple versions of Linux, due to the Snapcraft packaging.

Ditto here! Ubuntu 20.08 with a brand new 4K monitor, TINY mouse cursor. Don’t even know where to start to try and fix it but might try and rummage around so I’m not just another user posting issues about open source software without trying to help!
