wezterm isn't a GTK application, so it doesn't look directly at gsettings.
https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/faq.html#i-use-x11-or-wayland-and-my-mouse-cursor-theme-doesnt-seem-to-work describes how the cursor graphic is selected. It's not mentioned there, but the size resolution parallels the graphic resolution: there is also an XCURSOR_SIZE
environment variable that takes precedence over the root window Xcursor.size
property. If neither of those are set, a size is derived from the Xft.dpi
property of the root window.
wezterm could potentially use the xsettings protocol to determine a size, and potentially also use the XDG desktop portal dbus API (https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/1742, but note that reading gnome specific configs from there isn't formally specified as portable), however, under X11, assuming that XCURSOR_SIZE
isn't set in the environment, wezterm should pick up changes to the root window property and shouldn't need those alternative interfaces.
(under Wayland, there is no formally specified way to read this sort of setting, which is why #1742 is still open)
What Operating System(s) are you seeing this problem on?
Linux X11, Linux Wayland
Which Wayland compositor or X11 Window manager(s) are you using?
This is a standard Fedora 36 setup with GNOME 42. I tried both Wayland and X11 and the behavior is identical.
WezTerm version
wezterm 20221004-190909-eefd57b8
Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?
Yes, and I updated the version box above to show the version of the nightly that I tried
Describe the bug
GNOME lets the user to change the mouse pointer size. This works across most of the windows but over wezterm the pointer reverts to the default size.
See the video.
