UPDATE IN COMMENTS!!
Hey there, I don’t know if any of you noticed something similar recently, but I have noticed my cursors have gone HUGE, like 2x what it should be at least. I think this is related to the affected apps using a beta version of Libadwaita 1.6, but I just wanted to confirm here before I create an issue in the repo. I use 200% scaling, GNOME 45, Fedora 39. Does anybody else have this problem? Thanks!!
How it should look (in Pods, firefox and most other apps)
How it looks in Ptyxis
How it looks in Adwaita Demo (latest update, which bumped the libadwaita version to 1.6)
Try the following:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 12
Or if that’s too small, then a different value instead of 12.
I didn’t really expect this thread to turn into this, but I have to say I am glad it did XD
For the cursor-size setting, it does not seem to be the issue here, it simply makes it smaller on the normal windows, but about the normal size on the affected apps. Like the person on the GNOME community on here suggested, downgrading the GNOME platform runtime seems to be the issue, and since this only happens on nightly/bleeding edge GNOME apps, I think the issue is there. Thx though!
I swear to god I have such a massive cursor I had to get surgery so I can wear short pants in summer.
With big freedom come big cursors. Every click is a boom of libration!
Brag much
I’ve seen this happen after switching to wayland. Changing the cursor size and then changing it back solved the issue for me.
