My mouse automatically changes themes

  • 772

My mouse is set to a theme named DMZ-White i.e. the default theme in Ubuntu but ever since I installed and uninstalled deepin de my mouse becomes white only when it's on unity-greeter or firefox or some of the other apps. The other mouse theme that I don't want cannot be found in /usr/share/icons/ but it has a black pointer and the watch icon is a black wrist watch Can someone please tell me whats going on and how can I solve it.

Note: I have tried changing mouse themes but the they work the same as DMZ-White does i.e. only in some places and in the rest the same unknown theme appears

unity

    Log into the guest session and type the following commands: (assuming user is your old user name)

    su - user
sudo adduser user2

    and follow the instructions on-screen. If you're not on a US keyboard, don't use any "special" characters like £ à ŷ ü nor any numbers unless they're from your keypad.

    Now type the following commands:

    sudo adduser user2 adm 
sudo adduser user2 cdrom
sudo adduser user2 sudo
sudo adduser user2 dip
sudo adduser user2 plugdev
sudo adduser user2 lpadmin
sudo adduser user2 sambashare

    (If any of the above gives an error like group not found, don't worry: I'm trying to be thorough)

    Now, log out of the guest session and log in as "user2" and come back here to this site.

    Ah you're back! ;-) Please test now if you still have your problem... No? OK!

    Now,

    1. open the file manager
    2. browse to the /home/user directory
    3. copy (don't move!) all the files from Downloads to /home/user2/Downloads
    4. check you did a good job.
    5. Now delete /home/user/Downloads
    6. Go back to step 3 and repeat for Documents, Videos, ...
    7. In a terminal type the following command: deluser user --remove-home

    Done!
