animated cursor

Hi love the os but one thing niggles. I really want to disable the animated cursor. I have opened peripherals and tried all the available cursor schemes but all have the same annoying animation. Any clues how to disable? Thank you. And also, is there a way to restart TDE without rebooting the whole system. Noob questions I know but noob here.

Re: animated cursor

1. Open Konsole and enter sudo kcmodules --unlock
This will allow you to access all the TDE settings in Control Centre

2. Go to Control Centre>Appearance and Themes>Launch Feedback
The drop down list under Busy Cursor allows you to choose what it does and the slider sets the time for which it does it.

I use Passive Busy Cursor - 3 seconds and it seems about right - but choose what you prefer.

Simple way to Restart any desktop is just to log out and back in.

With TDE, when you are on the login box you can also restart X - the graphical server - from the Menu button underneath the Password box.

There are other ways but this is easy to get at.
