+ | Select your preferred mouse theme. It is wise to log out and log in after a mouse theme change, so all applications pick up the new cursors. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can install new cursor themes by butting them in the '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Device Properties ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Synaptics and Wacom interface in the dialogs shows only the most important settings, but there are a lot more settings for input devices you can control. Xfsettingsd is capable of setting all sorts of device properties; however, you have to manually set them in the pointers [[xfce: | ||
+ | |||
+ | First you need to find the correct device using the '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | $ xinput list | ||
+ | Virtual core pointer | ||
+ | Virtual core XTEST pointer | ||
+ | SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad | ||
+ | Virtual core keyboard | ||
+ | Virtual core XTEST keyboard | ||
+ | Power Button | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now let's assume you want to modify a special property of the touchpad, lets say the coasting speed. If you run the command below it will show a long list with all the different properties. | ||
+ | |||
+ | $ xinput list-props " | ||
+ | Device ' | ||
+ | [...] | ||
+ | Synaptics Coasting Speed (274): 45.000000 | ||
+ | Synaptics Scrolling Distance (252): 100, 100 | ||
+ | [...] | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next it to translate the names into valid [[xfce: | ||
+ | |||
+ | As you can see the value above is stored as a double (45.000), so to disable coasting you have to run the following [[xfce: | ||
+ | |||
+ | xfconf-query -c pointers -p / | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | In case the device property is an array, it will be show like '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | xfconf-query -c pointers -p / | ||
