Could you elaborate a bit on what you mean by this? When opening a program from the Apps section, WinBoat should open it in a window much like any other native program, so there is no distinction between the mouse on the Windows and Linux side.

Are you perchance using the noVNC connection from your browser to interact with the VM?

I think they mean something like this (watch my cursors theme as i enter premier pro) Thought I'm not sure if it would be possible, unless the user adds the same cursor theme to windows https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/589c903f-c877-4815-9840-08edcbafd888

Ah okay I see what you mean, I'll look into this when I have some free time!

There is a python script I forked and updated for converting cursor themes between xcursor and windows cursors that could potentially be used as a reference implementation for making this happen. I think it would be possible to convert the current cursor theme, install the cursor theme into the windows vm, and then update the registry to set the cursor to the new theme to sync it. https://github.com/alexankitty/Metamorphosis
