Ok, first I admit, I haven't really updated wine in a long time, because it just worked for me, so I don't know exactly when this happened (between v2 and v3).
I'm using a Windows classic theme with classic cursor icons that I like. And all worked fine.
But it seems Wine now automatically uses its own cursor icons or something when resizing its own "windows"? I mean those windows that are decorated with wine's own titlebar and so on (not by the window manager -- e.g. windows within app window). Before, it used the same icons as what the system's theme was, which was perfectly fine. But not anymore. This really bugs me. I really like the classic feel & icons and can't stand the modern flat "design" (including its cursors).
I'm talking about the cursor changing into the "arrows" when resizing the edge or corner of a window. Those "arrows" are not from the system theme anymore, but wine's own (which happens to be smaller/fatter, not sure how to explain, not as pointy)
Is there a way to force wine to use the system cursor icons for resizing and whatever else I missed? Do I have to edit a .dll with icons on every install? (hope not, that'd be a pain!)
I just want the Windows 2000 classic look back. (note that this thread is about the cursor icon, not anything else)
How to change "Hardcoded" cursor icons back
Re: How to change "Hardcoded" cursor icons back
I hadn't noticed that, but I can see it in the palette windows in Photoshop CS2. If this is a regression, you should run a regression test and file a bug for it. https://wiki.winehq.org/Regression_Testing
Re: How to change "Hardcoded" cursor icons back
Oh, I thought it was an intentional change that (hopefully) had an option to change it back. I never did any bisection regression hunting before (only compiled wine once) but I'll try, thanks for the pointer.
Re: How to change "Hardcoded" cursor icons back
Ok, I've done the regression test and found this commit:
Should I file a bug report or can you talk to the devs on my behalf? I don't know if it's intended, and in such case it's probably not a bug...
But would be nice to know how to "disable" the new cursors and go back to before (if not a bug), that's why I posted on forum. I tried to revert it in git master branch, but obviously since it's quite old it failed to revert it.
This looks "intended" to me, or am I wrong? Or maybe the bug was there all along but only crept in now that there's new cursors or something.32ccc0b9e0f1536655b7fca6e68823e1bf05374a is the first bad commit

Re: How to change "Hardcoded" cursor icons back
I would file a bug; it's not really clear what was intended, and at the very least, asking for a way to make Wine use your preferred cursors seems like a valid enhancement request.
Re: How to change "Hardcoded" cursor icons back
Alright thanks for the help, hope they at least consider it.

Gah, sorry, forgot to link the bug report and only realized it now: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44843
