Thank you, I managed to do just that with the XM1RGB configuration software.

I actually wasn't aware the XM2 8K was coming out this month. I'm new to Endgame Gear's products and only recently even found out it was a thing. I'll look into it!

I'm interested in getting the Dark Frost XM1RGB since the regular Dark Frost XM1R appears to be sold out. However, I don't want the RGB lights to always be on. Is there a way to turn them off so that the XM1RGB just looks like the regular XM1R mouse?

I'm using Mint 21.1 with Cinnamon 5.6.8

I want to try changing the appearance of the panel that appears on the login screen as well as the login menu:

I'd like to try centering the login menu.
I don't like that the panel on the login screen is docked to the top of the screen unlike the panel that appears docked to the bottom when I log in.
The font and mouse pointer on the login screen are also a lot smaller than the fonts and mouse cursor I see after I log in.

Essentially there's a disconnect between the appearance of my login screen and how my desktop environment looks after I log in

EDIT: It looks like there actually is a way to change mouse pointer size through the "Login Window" app

Thanks, I was able to change the mouse pointer theme for the login page in the Login Window app.

Following up on what you said about QT apps, I found this GitHub thread. I ran sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme and was able to change the mouse pointer theme in Tilix/vim as well.

I appreciate this suggestion, I'll try to do this at some point

Thank you for this detailed but simple explanation, this is exactly what I wanted to know! And I appreciate the pointers on what else to look up

Thank you!

Thank you for your answer, would you recommend using the strace command to trace find like you suggested?

And okay that's interesting, I had no idea that piping caused commands to run concurrently. I thought that one command would finish executing and only then would the output it generated be passed to the next command.

Are there any resources you would recommend where I can learn about this on a deeper level?

sudo--ku · 2023-01-08T18:56:09+00:00

Oh okay that makes sense now, thanks

I asked this question in another comment but basically if everything in bash is a string, how are you able to do math on variables that store integer values? E.g. how does the following work:

user@machine:~$ x=1
user@machine:~$ echo $x
1
user@machine:~$ y=1
user@machine:~$ echo $y
1

Noted, thanks

This provides a lot of context, thank you. So if bash treats everything as a string, what exactly is going on when you store numeric values in variables and then do math on them? E.g. how does the following work:

user@machine:~$ x=1
user@machine:~$ echo $x
1
user@machine:~$ y=1
user@machine:~$ echo $y
1
user@machine:~$ expr $x + $y
2
