Re: [SOLVED] Discord shows different mouse cursor

flatpaks systematically don't have access to random files on the host - the cursor theme not being integrated is a minor problem here.

Re: [SOLVED] Discord shows different mouse cursor

Did you see the cursor config wiki in #2?
Is this still an xwayland client?
You're somehow switching to adwaita.

Edit:

strace discord |& grep index.theme

I changed the gtk configs from breeze_cursors to the theme im using, and that did the trick. Thanks
