[systemsettings] [Bug 496830] UX/Accessibility: there should be synthetic larger sizes for all cursor themes to use
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496830 --- Comment #6 from Ellie --- (A small side that I forgot: especially pixelated retro pixel cursors, like old Windows or Amiga cursors, are most likely never going to switch to an SVG format since that seems somewhat unnatural. I'm not saying it's technically impossible to embed such bitmaps in SVG, but rather that I don't think many theme creator will think to do so just for better accessibility.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496830 --- Comment #5 from Ellie --- The first blog post sounds like cursor sizes are a problem today, but might be fixed tomorrow. In that case, why couldn't cursor scaling with a user setting be readded? It seems like for accessibility this would be kind of an important feature. Sorry if I'm just wasting your time and what I'm suggesting makes no sense, I'm for sure not an expert. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496830 --- Comment #4 from Filip --- I can't really talk about this in depth because I don't really know this very well to put it in my own words so it's better to link other sources. This really is on the theme to create larger icon sizes. Here are 2 great blogs explaining how cursors work https://blogs.kde.org/2024/10/09/cursor-size-problems-in-wayland-explained/ https://planet.kde.org/vlad-zahorodnii-2024-10-06-svg-cursors-everything-that-you-need-to-know-about-them/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496830 --- Comment #3 from Ellie --- Since Wayland already scales the cursor in so many places, why couldn't there just be an upscaler? I'm a little lost about that one, it seems like it might be somewhat straightforward to add and a lot of cursor themes don't seem to bother with higher scales, especially the retro kind. Getting them all to change seems somewhat like a lost battle. Anyway, I realize it's fully up to you, I'm just hoping you reconsider. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Please report this to the cursor theme developers. You can try to use Breeze or some other cursor theme which have the size you want. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496830 --- Comment #1 from Ellie --- There also seems to be a possible bug with cursor sizes in general, since in XWayland applications the cursor seems to be 1.5x the size which looks way more natural. Also I have a second machine with an older version of Plasma 6 where it also looks larger. So perhaps the cursor is generally smaller than it should be due to some other compounding issue, but nevertheless larger synthetic cursor sizes would always be useful to have. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
