[Bug]: cursor size
D3dde opened this issue · comments
Bug Report
Cursor size change depending on the application
Description
I'd like to start by making it clear that I'm new to Linux. On some applications such as Godot and VLC the cursor becomes much larger than normal, I think it is related to the PPI of the monitor (108.79) but I'm not sure at all.
Expected Behavior
that the cursor is the same size in all applications.

I've tried to tweak a few things in hyprland.conf but nothing changed
I took a look at #1517 but I don't understand if it's the same problem

A Linux Windows manager thing
I think it is related to the PPI of the monitor (108.79) but I'm not sure at all.
not at all, it just that we are using Linux and a Window Manager so we do not have a centralized way of rendering the cursor (Applications tries to render their own cursor). I think this will be solved in the next Hyprland update.

Try to check if your app is running under wayland too, maybe it is running over x11 / xwayland '.
run hyprctl clients to know which apps are running over xwayland = 1. '1' means it is running in xwayland which looks blurry.
You can google this issues online and binge read this Linux drama. HAHA.
