Description

Sometimes, while changing workspaces or while moving the cursor in and out of different apps, the cursor changes its size and becomes tiny.

How to reproduce

Move the cursor into an empty workspace

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

20240722_231419_librewolf.mp4

Not using any cursor themes
Installed hyprcursor from git (AUR package hyprcursor-git)

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

BRS5672023 · 2024-07-22T18:49:47Z

waybar and firefox follows the gsettings, I'd assume qt apps behave like on desktop with tiny cursors.. and I'm not having this issue with hyprcursor-git, since u don't have hyprcursor themes installed, will it help to comment out the line env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24

I still cannot reproduce this issue with this line added to my conf, and I just noticed you're on git branch so disregard my comment..

sudoAlphaX · 2024-07-22T19:06:17Z

will it help to comment out the line env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24

I haven't realized this line existed. I yanked an example config from hyprland wiki long ago when I was setting up my config. I have commented out that line and still have the issue. Moreover, that line existed from the very beginning of using hyprland so im sure recent commits have caused the issue.

Instances of the cursor size turning tiny: opening a new workspace with no windows (always), having the cursor on hyprland window border, moving the cursor from firefox (librewolf) to alacritty (terminal emulator). It doesnt turn tiny when moving from waybar to alacritty.

warrenfalk · 2024-07-22T20:19:10Z

so im sure recent commits have caused the issue.

Yep, I just came here because immediately after updating to the latest git, I now have this same issue.

vaxerski · 2024-07-23T11:39:46Z

You are likely using an XCursor. Have you tried installing a hyprcursor theme?

coffebar · 2024-07-24T12:49:36Z

I tried installed hyprcursor theme hyprcursor-dracula-kde-git and hyprcursor-git package, and it changes cursor for that half of windows that was with a tiny cursor.

env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,hyprcursor_Dracula
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,48

I made size bigger, but cursors are different theme from window to window.
How to make them consistent?

Btw theme sucks and there is no variety to choose

vaxerski · 2024-07-24T13:02:20Z

you'll have to set the XCursor theme to be the same theme as your hyprcursor theme, just compiled for X.

vaxerski · 2024-07-24T13:03:43Z

patch.txt
try this patch for small xcursor

coffebar · 2024-07-24T13:59:22Z

That's my path to consistent cursors, may be useful for others:

# 1) install the only cursor package that supports x and hyprland at the same time
yay -S bibata-cursor-git

# 2) set cursor for gtk-2
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme Bibata-Modern-Classic

# 3) TODO: set cursors for gtk-3 via lxappearance to Bibata-Modern-Classic

# 4) edit hyprland.conf

hyprland.conf

env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,Bibata-Modern-Classic
# without HYPRCURSOR_SIZE

without patch sizes ok

nktnet1 · 2024-07-24T14:22:41Z

I had this exact problem - was also a regression when Hyprland switched from wlroots-hyprland to aquamarine. Wrote up this workaround it after some trial and error.

Same as everything mentioned above, but I've documented the full steps here for using the rose-pine theme on Arch:

Inconsistent cursor size #6320 (comment)

Perhaps check if this works first before exploring other themes to help isolate the issue.

HK-Sepuri · 2024-07-25T10:51:26Z

with normal hyprland packages like hyprland, hyprcursor etc i set both hyrpcursor and xcursor to same theme

env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME, Bibata-Original-Amber
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE, 20
env = XCURSOR_THEME,Bibata-Original-Amber
env = XCURSOR_SIZE, 20

but when i installed all git version to use hyprpm the cursor becomes tiny and no theme when moved to different apps

sudoAlphaX · 2024-07-26T14:15:34Z

You are likely using an XCursor. Have you tried installing a hyprcursor theme?

I dont think im using a xcursor theme. Ive been using this same setup since many months.
I uninstalled the -git versions of hypr suite and installed releases from the arch repos and used it for a few days. The cursor size wasnt a problem. Reinstalling the -git versions beings back the inconsistent cursors.

20240726_193029_Alacritty.mp4

Ive followed @coffebar guide to consistent cursors but it seems either xcursor or hyprcursor themes arent working in some cases. Ive confirmed this by commenting either theme env vars and restarting hyprland. It produces the same results as the video.

Also, all the apps shown in the demonstration are wayland apps (alacritty, librewolf (firefox fork) with MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, alacritty terminal emulator, waybar and of course hyprland (built from commit 33a5c8c)

I posted a patch 2 days ago and nobody bothered to try it, so I will ignore your laments

have no idea where to apply that patch , i am newbie . so have zero idea where to paste it or to add into any other file

@HK-Sepuri

Here's how you can do it when building from source:

Clone Hyprland and cd into it as per the installation instructions:
```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland
cd Hyprland
```
(ensure you have all the dependencies as listed on that page for your distribution)
Download the patch.txt file and place it at the root of the Hyprland repository that you've just cloned
Use the patch command to apply this patch file
```
patch -p1 < patch.txt
```
you can sanity-check that the patch has been applied correctly by viewing the changes with
```
git diff
```
Rebuild and re-install Hyprland
```
make all && sudo make install
```
Restart Hyprland (note: make sure you are using the version that was built and installed from source, and not one that was installed using a package manager or AUR helper).

As an aside, you can revert the patch with

patch -p1 -R < patch.txt

@nktnet1 i actually installed from aur(Arch) , hyprland-git version , ill revert back to hyprland version (not git one) that works well. Thanks for help :)

Just to be on the same page, I do not want to use any specific theme (Hyprcursor or XCursor). Im happy with the current default cursor theme. I just don't want the cursor size inconsistency across various windows and surfaces.

You are likely using an XCursor. Have you tried installing a hyprcursor theme?

How can I find out whether the hyprcursor is working or not?

@aljustiet, you can see that in your hyprland.log (make sure to set disable_logs = true under debug).

[ERR] Hyprcursor failed loading theme "", falling back to X.

How Did you make the @aljustiet colored?

I had this exact problem - was also a regression when Hyprland switched from wlroots-hyprland to aquamarine. Wrote up this workaround it after some trial and error.

Same as everything mentioned above, but I've documented the full steps here for using the rose-pine theme on Arch:
* [Inconsistent cursor size #6320 (comment)](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/6320#issuecomment-2243109637)
Perhaps check if this works first before exploring other themes to help isolate the issue.

It was working for me with rose-pine theme until today I updated Hyprland from AUR.

UPD: tried to roll back, but it doesn't help, seems issue is coming not from Hyprland's update

Kooha-2024-08-26-21-52-36.mp4

UPD: workaround: add this on startup (for RosePine theme)

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme BreezeX-RosePine-Linux
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 32

nktnet1 · 2024-08-27T01:18:47Z

@coffebar I couldn't reproduce the issue on the latest hyprland-git and aquamarine-git:

but I've seen the gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface ... steps fix the issue for others. Will also edit my linked post. Thanks :).

coffebar · 2024-08-27T06:33:36Z

yeah, in my case the problem is gsettings can't save settings - cursor fallbacks to default every time after exit the session. Idk why, but it seems not an issue for hyprland

nktnet1 · 2024-08-27T07:10:30Z

@coffebar yeah, the workaround of adding it to ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf was brought up before too from memory, e.g.

exec-once = gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme BreezeX-RosePine-Linux
exec-once = gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 32
