## Creating a theme
|
|
|
|
Familiarize yourself with the README of `hyprcursor-util`.
|
|
|
|
## Creating a theme from an XCursor theme
|
|
|
|
Download an XCursor theme, extract it, and then use `--extract`, and then on the resulting output, `--create`.
|
|
|
|
Before `--create`, you probably should walk through the `manifest.hl` and all the `meta.hl` files to make sure they're correct,
|
|
and adjust them to your taste.
|
|
|
|
## Creating a theme from scratch
|
|
|
|
The directory structure looks like this:
|
|
```ini
|
|
directory
|
|
┣ manifest.hl
|
|
┗ hyprcursors
|
|
┣ left_ptr
|
|
┣ image32.png
|
|
┣ image64.png
|
|
┗ meta.hl
|
|
┣ hand
|
|
┣ image32.png
|
|
┣ image64.png
|
|
┗ meta.hl
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Manifest
|
|
|
|
The manifest describes your theme, in hyprlang:
|
|
```ini
|
|
name = My theme!
|
|
description = Very cool!
|
|
version = 0.1
|
|
cursors_directory = hyprcursors # has to match the directory in the structure
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Cursors
|
|
|
|
Each cursor image is a separate directory. In it, multiple size variations can be put.
|
|
|
|
`meta.hl` describes the cursor:
|
|
```ini
|
|
# what resize algorithm to use when a size is requested
|
|
# that doesn't match any of your predefined ones.
|
|
# available: bilinear, nearest, none. None will pick the closest. Nearest is nearest neighbor.
|
|
resize_algorithm = bilinear
|
|
|
|
# "hotspot" is where in your cursor the actual "click point" should be.
|
|
# this is in absolute coordinates. x+ is east, y+ is north.
|
|
hotspot_x = 0.0 # this goes 0 - 1
|
|
hotspot_y = 0.0 # this goes 0 - 1
|
|
|
|
# Define what cursor images this one should override.
|
|
# What this means is that a request for a cursor name e.g. "arrow"
|
|
# will instead use this one, even if this one is named something else.
|
|
define_override = arrow
|
|
define_override = default
|
|
|
|
# define your size variants.
|
|
# Multiple size variants for the same size are treated as an animation.
|
|
define_size = 64, image64.png
|
|
define_size = 32, image32.png
|
|
|
|
# If you want to animate it, add a timeout in ms at the end:
|
|
# define_size = 64, anim1.png, 500
|
|
# define_size = 64, anim2.png, 500
|
|
# define_size = 64, anim3.png, 500
|
|
# define_size = 64, anim4.png, 500
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Supported cursor image types are png and svg.
|
|
|
|
If you are using an svg cursor, the size parameter will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
Mixing png and svg cursor images in one shape will result in an error.
|
|
|
|
All cursors are required to have an aspect ratio of 1:1.
|
|
|
|
Please note animated svgs are not supported, you need to add a separate svg for every frame.
|
|
|
|
### TOML
|
|
|
|
You are allowed to use TOML for all .hl files. Make sure to change the extension from `.hl` to `.toml`!
|
|
|
|
#### Manifest
|
|
|
|
Append `[General]` to the top, and wrap all the values in quotes.
|
|
|
|
#### Meta
|
|
|
|
Append `[General]` to the top, and wrap all values except hotspot in quotes.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, if you have multiple `define_*` keys, merge them into one like this:
|
|
```toml
|
|
define_override = 'shape1;shape2;shape3'
|
|
define_size = '24,image1.png,200;24,image2.png,200;32,image3.png,200'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can put spaces around the semicolons if you prefer to. |
