Some cursor themes are not scaled correctly

Open zerodegress opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

Some cursor themes converted from xcursor like https://www.gnome-look.org/p/2113061 are not scaled correctly, which makes the cursor appear abnormally small on high-resolution screens

that'd be an issue with xcur2png tho no?

that'd be an issue with xcur2png tho no? I don't think so, because it's also a problem when using the XCursor mouse theme under GTK applications

maybe its a problem with the theme then? if only select themes are affected

In fact all themes in this category suffer from these problems. It seems that highly colorful, pixelated and dynamic mouse themes will fail to scale properly, but vector graphic mice in general are not affected.

I am having the same issue with the animated cursor https://www.gnome-look.org/p/2163432. The converted cursor only loads at specific values of HYPRCURSOR_SIZE.

(I suspect this is because there is no upscaling done on the png when it has low resolution, because reported issues seem to be with low base resolution pixel-style cursors)
