input.cursor_size has no effect

[DurandA]

Changing input.cursor_size doesn't affect the cursor size, even after restart.

I compiled Wayfire from the master branch.

This option affects only the cursor size when it is being set by Wayfire. For example, while doing expo, or in the move plugin. Is the cursor size there unaffected?

For apps, unfortunately there isn't a way for the compositor to set the cursor size or theme of the clients. So you will have to manually change the relevant GTK, Qt, etc. settings.

Is the cursor size there unaffected?

Yes, even when the cursor is on top of the wallpaper the size is unaffected.

[ammen99]

The wallpaper is a client as well. Can you check when expo is active? Is the cursor unaffected while in expo?

[DurandA]

No effect when expo is active as well.

Just to be 100% sure, here is the input section of my wayfire.ini:

[input]
xkb_layout = ch
xkb_variant = fr
natural_scroll = true
cursor_size = 128

I just tried and cursor_size works. Can you try with latest Wayfire again?

After changing cursor theme from default to gentoo, i get valid cursor on some application, but not in root desktop or others gtk-3 apps like nautilus, chromium...

[ammen99]

I think gtk3 applications have separate cursor size settings. The options cursor_size and cursor_theme only control X11 applications, wayfire's built-in cursors (for example, if you activate a plugin, these are the built-in cursors).

EDIT: for example, I used gnome-tweaks to set the cursor theme for GTK3 apps

[zz64]

yeah fixed.

gnome_schema="org.gnome.desktop.interface"
gsettings set "$gnome_schema" cursor-theme "gentoo"
gsettings set "$gnome_schema" cursor-size "48"

wayfire should have ability to send this settings to dconf. like: [gtk-gui] cursor-theme "" cursor-size "" icons-theme "" ...

gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.interface
gtk-color-palette
show-battery-percentage
can-change-accels
toolkit-accessibility
text-scaling-factor

i don't have gnome-tweaks or other settings gui :-P i have only nautilus (without webkit and others bloat...)

Thanks.
