LXDE Understanding mouse cursors

[balanga]

After numerous attempts at understanding mouse cursors on LXDE (which is based on Openbox) I can't figure out how to configure the look and feel I want.

When I select Preferences -> Cusomize Look and Feel -> Mouse Cursor

I get a choice of eight curors in four styles: Adwaita, handhelds, redglass, whiteglass.

Each of the styles has its own cursors directory under /usr/local/share/icons. There are several other directories under this but none has a cursors directory,

The Adwaita has numerous 'dimension' directories, ie 8x8, 16x16, 256x256 among others, but none of the others do.

Have I misconfigured something or overlooked something?

When I run Neofetch it tells me:-

DE: LXDE
WM: Openbox
WM Theme: Onyx
Theme: Adwaita [GTK2/3]
Icons: nuoveXT2 [GTK2/3]

Does this mean I'm supposed to be using nuoveXT2 cursors?

If anyone is aware of a step by step guide to installing new cursors, I'd appreciate it.

Many thanks.

The folders within the icon theme directories hold icons of different sizes, types, scalable icons, etc. Adwaita is an icon theme pack and has more icons than just mouse pointers and hence the many directories under it.
There are a few packages/ports available with cursor themes; something like pkg search cursor may find them.
A cursor theme can be applied system-wide by creating an index.theme under '/usr/local/share/icons/default' with something like:

[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Adwaita
