Certain... things that have focus will display the mouse cursors I chose while others seem to go with the default (which looks like DMZ-White). For instance Firefox and Qt Creator will display the cursors I want, but when I mouse over Evolution the cursors used are default. What's even stranger is that some of the Gnome objects aren't consistent about this. The title bar shows the default cursors while the taskbar at the bottom shows mine. I thought it might be that I didn't have the vast wealth of redundancies in the naming of these cursors, so I compared the directories but didn't find anything important missing. Here's my listing:

The only things I see missing there are things that are not part for the main pointer. I set this up through Tweaks. Yes, I have logged out and restarted.
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.02.
