I can't remember what it's called but it's the finger pointing hand that shows on all links on web pages. I don't recall where to check to change the default, assuming that's still possible.
Sorry. I mean the mouse cursor.
The mouse cursor displayed in chromium is the same as the one from the system-wide cursor theme. So try to change the GTK cursor theme in Settings -> Appearance -> Use GTK+ theme. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_gtk_theme_integration.md
I went to Settings->Appearance and clicked on "Use GTK+ theme" to no effect. I closed and re-opened the browser which did not change either.
After writing my last comment, I think I know now what you are saying. I believe you are saying that Chromium will now follow user system styles instead of its own. Since I have my mouse system cursor set as the "finger point" that is now what I get instead of what I had all those years before. What I now need to do is find how to set my system cursor to something else. Or can this be changed in GTK? I don't know.
(In reply to drhowarddrfine from comment #4) IIRC chromium uses /usr/local/share/icons/default/index.theme
Does the problem still exist?
