Extra Large on Windows looks jagged #28

Open Tech-Tac opened 2 months ago

Tech-Tac commented 2 months ago

Animated cursors (Work, Busy) in the extra large pack look pixelated/jagged compared to the large variant, which has smoother edges. image image

My resolution and scaling settings are 1280x1024 at 100% scaling. image

This problem is present in your other cursors too (Bibata, macOS).

The bitmap previews in this dialog are always jagged, including for the Windows default pointers. Have you observed the jagginess after you apply the cursor scheme?

Tech-Tac commented 1 month ago

The cursor does indeed appear jagged when applied, and not for the large version, at least not as much.

I suspect you may be observing a subtle blurring but not jagginess, only with the Extra-Large variants, and only with the animated cursors, as they appear to contain only a 96x96 resolution. I've described this problem elsewhere: https://github.com/ful1e5/Bibata_Cursor/issues/149#issuecomment-2175724350 The static cursors should all appear fine:

The cursor on my screen looks exactly as the first attached image, you judge if that counts as jagginess or blurriness.

O.k. I've observed it by reducing my display resolution – Windows likely doesn't use smooth scaling when downscaling. The root cause is still the one I've pointed out: the Extra-Large variants, and only the animated cursors, contain just a 96x96 resolution.

That reminds me! Sorry, I forgot to report my resolution and scaling settings, I'll edit the original issue with my settings now.
