## hyprcursor
|
|
The hyprland cursor format, library and utilities.
|
|
|
|
Please note it's in very early development.
|
|
|
|
## Why?
|
|
|
|
XCursor sucks, and we still use it today.
|
|
- Scaling of XCursors is horrible
|
|
- XCursor does not support vector cursors
|
|
- XCursor is ridiculously space-inefficient
|
|
|
|
Hyprcursor fixes all three. It's an efficient cursor theme format that
|
|
doesn't suck as much.
|
|
|
|
### Notable advantages over XCursor
|
|
- Automatic scaling according to a configurable, per-cursor method.
|
|
- Support for SVG cursors (soon, see todo)
|
|
- Way more space-efficient. As an example, Bibata-XCursor is 44.1MB, while it's 6.6MB in hyprcursor.
|
|
|
|
