Description

The cusror appears on waybar and firefox-esr but not my terminal and the desktop. Also my cursor is set to the one from KDE Plasma so that might help. And when I open PCmanFM its just an X.

How to reproduce

Set my conf to that I pasted and have a cursor from KDE Plasma.

Try building the latest git again, this was fixed yesterday https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/7001.

[vaxerski]

under most: looks like a broken xcursor theme to me tbh?

[clague]

seems like some of animated cursor themes doesn't appear, for example: https://www.pling.com/p/1745271/

[Atemu]

@fufexan it did not fix the issue for me.

Relaying what I noticed in https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/7107:

Happens for me in wayland-native QT apps aswell as foot. It does not happen in GTK or xwayland apps.

Happens regardless of hardware cursor usage.

Creating an xwayland window in the same workspace and moving the mouse to it can mitigate this slightly but it's extremely inconsistent.

I do not have any special cursor themes configured (to my knowledge); all default except for:

$cursorSize = 24
env = XCURSOR_SIZE,$cursorSize
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,$cursorSize

But I would not expect that to cause my cursor to be hidden entirely in some application.

[RononDex]

Any ETA when this will be fixed in a release? I just tried compiling hyprland bymyself, but hyprland crashes everytime I open any window with the current git version, so I reverted back to the last tagged version.

I am still getting no cursor on certain applications

[JohnMH]

I'm seeing the same. This has been the case since the move to Aquamarine. I have a hyprcursor theme, but it doesn't work. Doesn't matter if I set 'no_hardware_cursors` or not, which fixed it under wlroots.

[arminius-smh]

I do not have any special cursor themes configured (to my knowledge); all default except for:

$cursorSize = 24
env = XCURSOR_SIZE,$cursorSize
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,$cursorSize

@Atemu Not sure if this will help you or anyone else here, but I just had a similar problem I could see my xcursor theme on gtk apps, but nothing on QT apps

I also had similiarly env for the cursor set, ONLY

env = XCURSOR_SIZE,24
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24

I don't quite remember why I only set the size, I guess in case I wanted to add one later, after setting a theme however:

env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,BreezeX-Dark-hyprcursor

It's now working on the latest git commit (I tried to remove the hyprcursor theme and size variable to see if it's working without both, but the hyprcursor theme kept getting applied, so I couldn't test it without them)

[RononDex]

@arminius-smh I already tried that, did not work for me :(

[fufexan]

@Atemu there is no default hyprcursor theme currently, it is probably unused. Can you try https://github.com/fufexan/dotfiles/blob/main/pkgs/bibata-hyprcursor/default.nix?

[Atemu]

Sorry, meant to reply here to say that having any hyprcursor set does indeed work.

So the issue really is that the default xcursor theme simply does not work.

[SlideShowGames]

I changed the cursor and it worked again lmao
