hyprcursor

The hyprland cursor format, library and utilities.

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
  • Way more space-efficient. As an example, Bibata-XCursor is 44.1MB, while it's 6.6MB in hyprcursor.

Tools

hyprcursor-util

Utility for creating hyprcursor themes. See its readme in hyprcursor-util/

libhyprcursor

The library to use for implementing hyprcursors in your compositor or app.

It provides C and C++ bindings.

Examples

For both C and C++, see tests/.
