No working cursor size setting?

[nico2004444]

I saw that people had xcursor-size in his configs but on mine niri says its an unexpected thing

[Sempyos]

Did you do it in the proper format..?
https://niri-wm.github.io/niri/Configuration%3A-Miscellaneous.html#cursor

[nico2004444]

This is the error

[nico2004444]

Pasted it at the end from the config file and now this error comes

[Sempyos]

uhh, could you provide your full config.kdl..?

[nico2004444]

Yeah can send it later
