# How do I change me mouse cursor?
1. Set the GTK cursor using [nwg-look](https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-look).
2. Add `exec-once=hyprctl setcursor [THEME] [SIZE]` to your config and restart Hyprland.
If using flatpak, run `flatpak override --env=~/.themes:ro --env=~/.icons:ro --user` and put your themes in both `/usr/share/themes` and `~/.themes`, and put your icons and cursors in both `/usr/share/icons` and `~/.icons`.
For Qt applications, Hyprland exports XCURSOR_SIZE as 24, which is the default.
You can overwrite this by exporting XCURSOR_SIZE to a different value with `env`.
You can also try running `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'theme-name'` or adding it after `exec-once=` in your config.
If you do not want to install a GTK settings editor, change the config files according to the
[XDG specification (Arch Wiki link)](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cursor_themes#Configuration).
Make sure to also edit `~/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini` and `~/.gtkrc-2.0` if _not_ using a tool
(like `nwg-look`).

## Important notes
Although many apps support server-side cursors (e.g. qt, chromium, electron, hypr ecosystem)
some apps still don't (like gtk)
Apps that do not support server-side cursors and hyprcursor will still fall back to XCursor.
For those apps, you need to export `XCURSOR_THEME` and `XCURSOR_SIZE` to a valid XCursor theme,
and run `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme 'THEME_NAME'` for gtk.
If the app is a flatpak, run `flatpak override --env=~/.themes:ro --env=~/.icons:ro --user` and put
your themes in both `/usr/share/themes` and `~/.themes`, and put your
icons and XCursors in both `/usr/share/icons` and `~/.icons`.
