			== Troubleshooting ==

			=== Cursor themes in Gnome apps under Hyprland are different / not applied ===
			Try giving the Gnome apps an extra kick with:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
			wayland.windowManager.hyprland.settings = {
			exec-once = [
			# Fixes cursor themes in gnome apps under hyprland
			"gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme '${config.home.pointerCursor.name}'"
			"gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size ${toString home.pointerCursor.size}"
			];
			};
			</syntaxhighlight>

			=== Cursor themes in flatpaks are different / not applied ===

			==== Set <code>xdg-desktop-portal-gtk</code> as fallback ====
			Most flatpaks need the functions implemented by <code>xdg-desktop-portal-gtk</code> and other desktop portals are not always implementing everything in <code>xdg-desktop-portal-gtk</code> themself. So its a good idea to set<code>xdg-desktop-portal-gtk</code> as a fallback.

			This can be achieved in home-manager through <code>xdg.portals.config</code>:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
			xdg.portal = {
			config = {
			# example with hyprland
			hyprland.preferred = [ "hyprland" "gtk" ];
			};
			};
			</syntaxhighlight>OR in home-manager through <code>xdg.portals.configPackages</code>:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
			xdg.portal = {
			# example with hyprland
			configPackages = [ pkgs.hyprland ];
			# has a file with /nix/store/...-hyprland-.../share/xdg-desktop-portal/hyprland-portals.conf
			# 1 │ [preferred]
			# 2 │ default=hyprland;gtk
			};
			</syntaxhighlight>Keep in mind that with the home-manager module <code>wayland.windowManager.hyprland.enable</code> this is already done. See [./Https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/22b418c13fb0be43f4bc5c185f323a3237028594/modules/services/window-managers/hyprland.nix#L298 github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/master/modules/services/window-managers/hyprland.nix]

			==== Make sure <code>xdg-desktop-portal-gtk</code> is running ====
			For flatpaks you need to make sure the <code>xdg-desktop-portal-gtk</code> is running in userspace, which is not automatically always the case (espacially on tiling windowManagers). So in home-manager you can set:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
			xdg.portal = {
			enable = true;
			extraPortals = [ pkgs.xdg-desktop-portal-gtk ]; # Fixes OpenURI and cursor themes in flatpaks
			};
			</syntaxhighlight>

			==== Giving flatpaks permission to ''<code>/nix/store</code>'' ====
			This already fixes themes for most apps like gnome. But not all (e.g. Obsidian or Logseq).

			And since flatpaks are sandboxed and dont have access to the nix-store you need to give them permission, since the cursors are eventually linked to ''<code>/nix/store/...</code>'':<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
			flatpak --user override --filesystem=/nix/store:ro
			</syntaxhighlight>OR with the https://github.com/gmodena/nix-flatpak homeManagerModule:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
			services.flatpak = {
			enable = true;

			overrides = {
			global = {
			Context.filesystems = [ "/nix/store:ro" ];
			};
			};
			};
			</syntaxhighlight>

			gtk.enable = true;

			mkdir -p $out/share/icons
			ln -s ${pkgs.fetchzip {
			url = url;
			hash = hash;
			}} $out/share/icons/${name}
			'';
