Description

After setting my cursor using nwg-look for gtk etc, I added the same cursor details into my hyprland.conf using [code]env = XCURSOR_SIZE,30 env = XCURSOR_THEME,BreezeX-RosePine-Linux env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,30 env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,rose-pine-hyprcursor[/code]

However, after saving the file, the hyprcursor was still considerably smaller. I then tried [code]hyprctl reload[/code] but this had no effect. I then restarted my machine, which also had no effect. I then decided to try [code]hyprctl setcursor rose-pine-hyprcursor 30[/code] which immediately worked. Making changes to the config file still has no effect on the cursor.

How to reproduce

Try to set cursor using official process in the hyprland.conf file. This fails. Use hyprctl setcursor works.

surely odd, as a workaround you can put hyprctl setcursor in exec-once

yeah, already have. Just wanted to make aware of the odd behaviour so it can get fixed at some point, and if anybody else has the same issue, they can find this bug report and the relevant work around 👍

generally only thing worth mentioning is that env keywords are evaluated only once at start. They will not change on reload.
