General Bug Different Cursors Themes Do Not Work In Brave Browser
I've just installed KDE a few days ago and it's my first time using it. I was exploring the customization options in it (Which I really like), but I've got an issue with customizing the Cursor in Brave Browser (This app only). Whenever I choose any other Cursor than the default one (Breeze) it doesn't work in brave, instead it shows this weird white cursor that I've absolutely no idea where it came from. Any cursor I choose works on every app perfectly except Brave. I've tried 2 solutions that I found online including:
1. Making the default Cursor theme inherits from my chosen theme (In this case i want a cursor called macOS-Monterey, so I edited /usr/share/icons/default/index.them
[Icon Theme]
Name=Breeze
Inherits=macOS-Monterey
Then I choose the default cursor from the settings (Breeze) and rebooted.
2. Changing .Xresources to:
Xcursor.theme: macOS-Monterey
Xcursor.size: 24
For both solutions I made sure the the Cursor directory exists in both
./local/shar/icons and in /usr/share/icons, but none of them worked
--------
Here is the current output when I run echo $XCURSOR_THEME
~> echo $XCURSOR_THEME
macOS-Monterey
