Bug ID: 383146
Summary: Support larger cursor size
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.10.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: polarathene-sig...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
System Settings -> Workspace Theme -> Cursor Theme
Bottom right is a big dropdown button. Usually but not always with the options:
"resolution dependent", 24, 48. I just checked with my machine and I also have
a 36 size.
I setup a laptop with KDE/Plasma for a user with vision difficulties, one of
their needs was a large cursor like they had on macOS. 48 was still too small
for them on their 1080p display.
They usually need to use the Kwin zoom effect which gives a larger albeit
pixelated cursor in addition to content around the cursor being zoomed
including text.
I'm not sure if cursors are bitmaps or vectors, but if the default Breeze ones
could at the very least support larger sizes that would be greatly appreciated.

In addition to the cursor size, when applied, there seems to be a mix of the
prior size and the new size depending on what the cursor is interacting with.
On the system settings window, the resize cursors are the smaller original size
and the default pointer is small when hovering over the windows titlebar area.
This may cause some confusion or seem buggy.
Unlike Fonts DPI this doesn't appear to be applied to new windows(existing
Dolphin window had inconsistencies, new instance had no inconsistencies but
used the small original size). It's corrected with a reboot, a warning dialog
like Font DPI presents could be useful to avoid user confusion.

TL;DR: Please consider supporting larger sizes like 60 and 72, if cursors are
vector based a custom size would be great. If cursors are bitmaps but use
vectors as source assets, a tool that could resize and rasterize the theme
could address that too for supported themes?
