Cursor theme not applied with cursor environment variables set in hyprland.conf

[SherLock707]

I have set the following environment variables in my hyprland.conf to configure the cursor theme and size:

env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,Bibata-Modern-Ice env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24

However, upon boot, it defaults to the regular cursor theme instead of applying the specified theme and size. I have to manually run the following command after boot for the changes to take effect:

Running hyprctl setcursor "Bibata-Modern-Ice" 24 sets the theme instantly.

hyprcursor 0.1.9-1 hyprland 0.43.0-1

My cursor config:

cursor {
  no_hardware_cursors = false
  enable_hyprcursor = true
  warp_on_change_workspace = true
  sync_gsettings_theme = true
}

I'm running into this too.

hyprland 0.45.2-3 hyprcursor 0.1.10-1 Arch Linux

this is not a hyprcursor issue, rather a hyprland one, or more likely, user error
