How do I disable the huge clown mouse cursor when using a QHD display?
I recently purchased a large QHD monitor for some screen real estate. Unfortunately, as soon as (I'm assuming) Cinnamon noticed the 2560x1440 resolution, it went and blew my cursor up to an annoyingly gigantic clown cursor against my will.
The gigantic cursor is of the cursor theme "Adwaita". I have changed the mouse theme using Themes -> Other Settings -> Mouse Pointer. The new cursor theme only has effect in certain applications however. When I mouse over Skype and GVim, my custom theme applies just fine.
When I mouse over these applications:
- Chrome
- The desktop
- Any Cinnamon component
- Any Gnome system utility
- All title bars
The cursor is ridiculously uselessly huge.
Why does this occur, and how to I disable it?
My cursor theme VS the actual cursor in most applications:
I am using Cinnamon 2.2.6, compiled from source on my machine. I'm using one 2560x1440 display in portrait mode (ie 1440x2560) and one 1080p display in landscape mode.

Clown Cursor sounds rather intolerant. It's not his fault for being that heavy. :( So other application's custom cursors are upscaled? Sounds like some accessibility setting (although I have no idea how or where). Any setting with "pointer" in it? Shouldn't necessarily be "cursor". :)

Not sure whether it changes anything, but I've found the following:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.interface cursor-size #
Where # is obviously the desired size in pixels. But I guess you've already tried that, considering 20 is smaller than the default(?).
Also note that your cursor is obviously set to mate. It's only set to Adwaita for Gnome.
org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'Adwaita'
org.cinnamon.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'mate'
Are you sure you're modifying the correct one?

I have indeed changed all instances of cursor-theme "Adwaita" to "mate" after asking the question. It did nothing. I've also changed all instances of "cursor-size" to low values, which also had no effect. I have rebooted between all these changes.

Not sure whether it changes anything, but I've found the following:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.interface cursor-size #
Where # is obviously the desired size in pixels. But I guess you've already tried that, considering 20 is smaller than the default(?).
Also note that your cursor is obviously set to mate. It's only set to Adwaita for Gnome.
org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'Adwaita'
org.cinnamon.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'mate'
Are you sure you're modifying the correct one?

I have indeed changed all instances of cursor-theme "Adwaita" to "mate" after asking the question. It did nothing. I've also changed all instances of "cursor-size" to low values, which also had no effect. I have rebooted between all these changes.

run dconf-editor, go to ORG > GNOME > DESKTOP > INTERFACE > CURSOR-SIZE. I used 10 for my 5k display.

Clown Cursor sounds rather intolerant. It's not his fault for being that heavy. :( So other application's custom cursors are upscaled? Sounds like some accessibility setting (although I have no idea how or where). Any setting with "pointer" in it? Shouldn't necessarily be "cursor". :)

@Mario: Added settings for "pointer" and "accessibility" to question

@Mario: The cursor is Adwaita and upscaled in Chrome, the desktop, all Gnome system windows, Nemo, the terminal etc. The only applications I've found where my cursor theme is applied is in Skype, Libreoffice and KDirStat.

The thing that really confuses me is the fact that scaling seems to be different. Or is the cursor indeed bigger (e.g. no artifacts from scaling). It's hard to see on the photos above.
– Mario

@Mario: Yes, there are no visible artifacts from scaling the cursor. I'm guessing it's vector based and can be scaled to any size.
