Usage

Add this repo to your flake inputs

# flake.nix
inputs = {
    # ...
    nix-cursors = {
      url = "github:LilleAila/nix-cursors";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
    # ...
}

Here is an example of how you can configure it with home-manager and nix-colors. The colors can be changed, or left as default. To see the available cursors, look in the pkgs directory, or run nix flake show github:LilleAila/nix-cursors.

home.pointerCursor = {
    package = inputs.nix-cursors.packages.${pkgs.system}.bibata-original-cursor.override {
        background_color = "#${config.colorScheme.palette.base00}";
        outline_color = "#${config.colorScheme.palette.base06}";
        accent_color = "#${config.colorScheme.palette.base00}";
    };
    name = "Bibata-Original-Custom";
    size = 24;
    gtk.enable = true;
};

The bibata-original and bibata-modern cursors also have an option called replace_crosshair. It will replace the crosshair cursor with the normal pointer cursor, so that it does not show up in screenshots taken from the top left.
