--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I get your point. It's something that we receive a lot of requests for in other
contexts too; people want to change *just this one* Plasma setting: make the
panel shadow go away, or change the panel background color, or remove the
header area on top, and so on. "Just one thing! Why does it have to be themable
when I want to change just one thing!"
The problem is that everyone wants to change a different just one thing.
Accommodating that with explicit settings it simply not feasible, I'm afraid.
We would end up offering so many settings that it would, again, defeat the
point of themability.
Now, maybe there are fewer things about the standard Breeze cursor that people
might want to customize. You've asked for the background color. But what about
the outline color? And how about the pointiness? There's also the interface
where the tail connects to the arrow; I know for a fact that people have
Opinions™ about that.
Hopefully you can see where this is going. :)
There is precedent for changing color schemes of a theme, though. Unfortunately
cursor themes aren't easily compatible with this since they use a legacy
XCursor theming file format, not something nice like SVG (and this is why we
can't have nice sharp upscaled cursors for free). I'd *love* if we broke
compatibility with the cursor theme spec and offered nice SVG cursors, and then
your request here would be feasible to implement as well.
Unfortunately that is a significantly larger project that may not even be
feasible at all due to the existence of legacy X11 apps.
