Zoomed in mouse icons

[rene-coty]

I use ZapZap on Fedora (= GNOME) and I have noticed that since version ~ 4.0 the mouse pointer seems to be "zoomed in" when the application window is hovered over or when interacting with an item in the window (see screenshots below). I don't know if it is intentional, but it's not very pleasant as it makes the app feeling a bit "out of place" on some desktop environments...

I don't know if it's very explicit in the screenshots 😅 but I really measured it and mouse icons are around 2 or 3 millimeters bigger in ZapZap, which is quite visible on small laptop screens

Here the mouse pointer in its "normal" size

Here the (bigger) mouse pointer when hovering over the app window

Here another icon of the mouse pointer (interacting with an item), which is also bigger than it's normal size

• It happens whenever the checkbox "ZapZap window" in the system menu is checked or not

This is not quite an application problem, but the QT framework. Is related to Wayland and was/is a known problem on Telegram, see more in Cursor is excessively large on GNOME Wayland HiDPI.

Solutions: Change to X11; or Define by Flatseal the environment variable XCURSOR_SIZE=24
