Back to the old school

Somehow i always like the old black linux cursors, the ones that come with "vanilla" X system. But lately every distro uses JimMac (Human) cursor theme, which is for me not as good as the old one.

So to change it execute:
sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
and choose there
/etc/X11/cursors/core.theme

Firefox fonts: same as in GTK settings

For a while i was "suffering" from the firefox 2 fonts looking differently from my gtk theme.
I think that's quite usual problem. The most annoying thing were the fonts, they were two steps bigger than my gtk ones.

Solution is fairly easy. Edit your firefox Chromeuser profile:
first create userChrome.css file by copying the example:

$ cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome
$ cp userChrome-example.css userChrome.css

Then just edit userChrome.css and paste these lines (based on my example):

* {
font-family: Sans-Serif !important;
font-size: 11px !important;
}

that will not force firefox follow your gtk settings, but will make it look the same.
