I'm running a windows app on wine under Ubuntu Linux, i've changed the mouse cursore theme in ubuntu but this change isn't reflected on wine app .

Is there a way to change the default mouse pointer theme in a wine app ?
Is there a way to hide the mouse cursor in a wine app ?

No, Wine always uses it's own pointer icon(s). The code that deals with user set cursors is not implemented (SPI_SETCURSORS).

Not by the user. Applications have to do it.

That's no longer true. Wine does use the system theme now.
