Description

The cursor size on the desktop and non-GTK apps (I've tested foot and kdenlive) does not respect the size set in nwg-look, with or without the XCURSOR_SIZE environment variable.

How to reproduce

My config file is located here.

Your cursor theme (BreezeX) does not seem to support the specified size of 40:

https://github.com/ful1e5/BreezeX_Cursor?tab=readme-ov-file#cursor-sizes

I've experienced the same with another theme before. While GTK seems to be able to scale it to fit sizes not provided by the theme, Qt cannot. Try setting a size that is listed in the link above for your hyprctl setcursor and XCURSOR_SIZE settings.

[flippette]

It... literally lists 40 in the supported list?

Also it did work previously so that can't have been an issue with the cursor theme right?

[M4he]

It... literally lists 40

Oops. I'm sorry, you are right. This size is listed, I must've been blind.

[M4he]

If it worked for you before maybe it was before the introduction of Hyprcursor?

Hyprcursor seems to be on by default now. Have you tried turning it off?

misc {
    ...
    enable_hyprcursor = false
}

See https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Variables/#misc

[M4he]

... adding to the above, there seem to be new settings for that feature:

env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,MyCursor
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24

See https://wiki.hyprland.org/Hypr-Ecosystem/hyprcursor/#hyprcursor-themes

[M4he]

You seeing correct cursor sizes in GTK only in conjunction with hyprcursor could be because of this:

[...] QT, chromium, electron and hypr* apps support cursor_shape, so in hyprland (or any other compositor using hyprcursors) you will get your pixel-perfect hyprcursors.

Notably, GTK does not support the protocol, so apps like firefox, or the entire gnome suite will fall back to the ugly XCursor themes.

[flippette]

I've switched to Bibata-Modern-Classic (with both the hyprcursor theme on the Discord server & the bibata-cursor-theme Arch package), with the following config changes:

# <...irrelevant...>
env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,Bibata-Modern-Classic
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,32
env = XCURSOR_THEME,Bibata-Modern-Classic
env = XCURSOR_SIZE,32
# <...irrelevant...>

However, the cursor now straight up disappears until it enters a GTK app, and then it does not change in any app not using GTK.

You can see that behavior here:

[vaxerski]

if it's the hyprcursor theme from the discord server the name of it is HyprBibataModernClassicSVG.

[flippette]

if it's the hyprcursor theme from the discord server the name of it is HyprBibataModernClassicSVG.

manifest.hl says Bibata-Modern-Classic though?

Also I tried repackaging BreezeX and that didn't work either.

[vaxerski]

[flippette]

The theme is located at ~/.local/share/icons/Bibata-Modern-Classic, FWIW.

[flippette]

I'm back on the computer now, here's the theme:

~ ❯ ll ~/.local/share/icons
drwxr-xr-x - flippette 19 Mar 04:35  Bibata-Modern-Classic
drwxr-xr-x - flippette 13 Feb 01:34  default
drwxr-xr-x - flippette 21 Mar 00:19  hicolor
~ ❯ head ~/.local/share/icons/Bibata-Modern-Classic/manifest.hl -n 1
name = Bibata-Modern-Classic

[vaxerski]

what if you manually run hyprctl setcursor with your hyprcursor theme? hyprctl setcursor Bibata-Modern-Classic 32

[flippette]

Same behaviour occurs with manually running hyprctl setcursor Bibata-Modern-Classic 32.
