What do you think will fix the cursor issue @wizardfromoz ?
Mouse and Keyboard Settings in LM 21.1 Cinnamon SOLVED
- Thread starter Alexzee
- Start date
Working on it today, Alex 
. Running a program on another Mint at the moment, when complete I'll slip into Vera Cinnamon.
I was looking at two (2) options, first would be
1. Tinkering with a file called /etc/environment
and second would be
2. Installing dconf-editor
and working with that. I'll come back to this option if we need to.
1. If you run
you will likely see just your path in there. I have mine set up in quite a number of my distros as I have in this one from my Linux Mint 20.3 'Una' Cinnamon
With this there are two key requirements
XCURSOR_THEME=
must be followed with an available theme name in the correct syntax, eg
=DMZ(White) and
= DMZ_White
would not work, and case matters.
You can see with your output at #20 above that
returns output including
Breeze_Snow
I had one distro where the Theme-Settings-Cursor picture such as you had at your screenshsot at #8 showed as
Breeze-White or Breeze-Light for me, but only Breeze-Snow would work.
XCURSOR_SIZE=
Can only handle sizes that are supported by the cursor theme and a lot of them go up in 8's - 48, 56, 64, 72
but I have only had joy with 48 so far.
I have some more, but have to reboot and run Timeshift
Back soon.

OK - in Vera Cinnamon now, and my suspicions appear to be confirmed.
With the archive I downloaded from your link, I read the Readme file, which I have in the Spoiler below
and amongst other things, it has
So it's no good to you anyway?
I suspected that because of your update-alternatives output there was no mention that it was installed, and also your screenshot shows what looks to be a DMZ or Adwaita cursor, not ArchTrix's colourful and stylized options.
So you may need to choose a different cursor.
Let us know where you'd like to go from here.

Looks like it's back to the drawling board again for me, I'll have to look for a different cursor and check the ReadMe file to see if there are any limitations. I'll let you know what I find at cinnamon-look.org.
Also, Alex I use a Google search such as
DMZ-White cursor sizes supported
