Good to hear. Note that you can also write to BUG-done <at> debbugs.gnu.org
yourself, you don't need my permission to do so ;) Anyway, done.
In order to avoid future instances of this issue, we should probably
drop a paragraph or two about it in the manual or (more likely) the
cookbook. I'll get to that when I do.
Cheers

Hi there,
I'm experiencing an issue with the emacs-next package on my Guix
foreign setup where the cursor (*not* Emacs point) is very dark. It's
perfectly legible against the default Emacs theme, but nonetheless it
is not respecting the settings of the rest of my system. To make
things worse, I'm currently using (and enjoying!) the modus-vivendi
theme.
My host machine is running Arch GNU/Linux with a tiling window
manager. I set my cursor style using xsetroot like so:
xsetoot -xcf /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/left_ptr 16
I tried installing the adwaita-icon-theme, gnome-themes-standard, and
gnome-themes-extra packages in an attempt at installing the correct
theme, but that didn't help.
I'm not entirely sure what the issue is, but after speaking with some
folks at #guix, it was suggested to me that this may in fact be a
bug. The other option discussed is that Guix needs its own cursor
settings, but I'm too early on in my journey with Guix (maybe 2 hours
of experience using the Guix binary) to know how set that up - if that
is indeed the case, some pointers on what to read would be very warmly
received!
I'm also not entirely sure what to provide to help debug, so I thought
I'd start off by showing my channels and packages, so that my setup
can be replicated? I hope that is helpful. I've also attached a
screenshot showing the difference while using the
"leuven" theme so there is enough contrast.
Thank you for reading,
JH
