Sure, makes sense. But what about making it a config option instead? |
|
@jwijenbergh sure I can do that. Should it be a wayland-specific option? How to tell the X11 backened the cursor size is not obvious to me, and I would need a couple pointers. |
|
Yes I think prefixing it with wl_ in the config is a good idea |
|
This has been added in the wlr 0.17 pr with a wl_xcursor_size variable in the config |
At X11 the way to configure the cursor_size is done by configuring XCURSOR_SIZE https://man.archlinux.org/man/Xcursor.3#XCURSOR_SIZE
There sadly is no standardized way to do that in wayland, the weston-example compositor also does it by XCURSOR_SIZE https://man.archlinux.org/man/weston.1.en#XCURSOR_SIZE

I added the same approach to qtile with this pr
