I was about to do this myself. Glad I looked here first. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the PR! Really appreciate it.
It doesn't require a special utility or anything, so I didn't put it behind a flag. If you want that changed, I should be able to add that fairly easily.
I think that's fine for now since, as you said, it doesn't rely on any external tools. It can be modified to be more modular in the future if need be.
Just one question from me on this PR, do we need to update the documentation at all to mention anything specific for Plasma 6.2 or does it just work out of the box ™️ ?

I'd also appreciate if someone on Plasma 6.2 could confirm that the built artefact (100MB download link) from this PR works for them. Perhaps @txtsd? |
It should just work. Plasma will load the cursor from the "cursors_scalable" folder if present, or fall back to the standard "cursors" folder. No special settings required. |

I don't actually run Plasma 😅 |
With the release of Plasma 6.2 comes support for SVG Cursors, so I figured I'd go ahead an implement them since I'm now using Plasma. Luckily this is a much simpler implementation than Hyprcursor was It doesn't require a special utility or anything, so I didn't put it behind a flag. If you want that changed, I should be able to add that fairly easily. Here is a screenshot of the cursor. It's a bit blurry, but that is because I had to screen record doing the mouse shake and then screen shot that, so the slight blurriness is just from my poor quality screen recording. It still looks miles better than the non-SVG version.
Edit: Here is the blog post that I based this implementation on: https://blog.vladzahorodnii.com/2024/10/06/svg-cursors-everything-that-you-need-to-know-about-them/
