Is there any way I can change the default cursor for all my widgets all at
once? The default cursor is the left_ptr on a Linux platform. I would like to change the color and/or size but my system has too many applications to perform an XDefineCursor for every popup and dialog.
I set the new cursor to the root window but the children didn't inherit it. Should all the children inherit from the root window? If so maybe I did something wrong.
I also tried "xsetroot -cursor cursor_name -fg red" which changed the displays cursor but not my applications which were rendering to it.
Thanks in advance.

How do I change the default Cursor (left_ptr)
Executing
xsetroot -cursor_name cursor_name
should change default X cursor for all applications, and this cursor will be used everywhere if an application doesn't change it obliviously.
