CursorStyle top_edge|bottom_edge|left_edge|right_edge not working about fvwm3 HOT 6 CLOSED

Do you have the mentioned commands in your config file as shown there with all those spaces?
CursorStyle top_edge crosshair it does not work, but CursorStyle top_edge crosshair does work as expected. I would suggest removing all those unnecessary spaces and trying again.

Cood idea - have tried it now but no luck (it still shows the default cursors instead of crosshair):

CursorStyle top_edge crosshair
CursorStyle bottom_edge crosshair
CursorStyle right_edge crosshair
CursorStyle left_edge crosshair

It could be that the Cursor theme you are using does not include crosshair. I have experienced similar things before. Some cursor themes do not include all known/regular cursor names. For instance for crosshair there is a tcross, cross and even cell. However... even if the cursor theme does not include a crosshair, fvwm should use a generic one.

I can't reproduce the problem using the provided your CursorStyle (once removed the unneeded spaces).

My cursor theme certainly contains the crosshair cursor as I am happily using it for

CursorStyle top_left     crosshair
CursorStyle top_right    crosshair
CursorStyle bottom_left  crosshair
CursorStyle bottom_right crosshair

cursorstyles as noted in the original post 😉.

Yet I find it really fishy (read wrong) that in your setup there is a different behavior with multiple spaces in between the command arguments and with a single space.

Hi @dumblob

Sorry for the delay. Please have a look at the ta/gh-851 branch which should fix this issue.
