I like my Breeze-hacked cursor but I think it’s time to find a native Wayland replacement.

I have some problems with X11 cursors and that’s quite normal with Wayland obviously. For example, my cursor can become invisible if my screen sleeps. Additional controllers that control mouse cursor don’t control X11 cursor, however they still work, I just don’t know where the cursor is unless it highlights something. Things like this.

It’s becoming kinda inconvenient so I’m asking for a replacement. Currently I don’t really care how it looks.

I’m on River by the way.

    They are Xcursor, same as Breeze-hacked. Honestly only native Wayland cursor I know of is Hyprcursor, but that only works with Hyprland it seems.

      I actually use Hyprland and I also have Hyprcursor installed, but for some reason there are like 3-4 different cursors depending on which program I’m using

        I think those are changing according to which sandbox environment you currently use. Probably one for root account (for programs you use with sudo), one for flatpaks and one for normal user.
