I like my Breeze-hacked cursor but I think it’s time to find a native Wayland replacement.

I have some problems with X11 cursors and that’s quite normal with Wayland obviously. For example, my cursor can become invisible if my screen sleeps. Additional controllers that control mouse cursor don’t control X11 cursor, however they still work, I just don’t know where the cursor is unless it highlights something. Things like this.

It’s becoming kinda inconvenient so I’m asking for a replacement. Currently I don’t really care how it looks.

I’m on River by the way.

    Hmm, I read that the KDE devs changed the Breeze cursor to use SVG files, which allows scaling it for the shake-cursor-feature of Plasma 6.1. That feature’s only available on Wayland, but yeah, no idea if this really couldn’t be done on X11…

      Apparently those cursors can be used on both Xorg and Wayland with their respective specs, and they are even located at ~/.icons or /usr/share/icons. Maybe this is some kind of a transition stage. However hyprcursor isn’t located there.
