Changing cursor in nwg-look only changes cursor in certain applications

[Luauc]

Changing the cursor in nwg-look only changes the cursor in some programs. It changed in libreoffice writer, and when the cursor is changed to pointing at something in the waybar it also changes but still the default state is the first one. I installed hyprland on debian with the jakoolit installer.

I have heard someone fixing some of this stuff using xcursor but as far as im aware this config doesnt use that?

Ty!

Keep in mind that this was also a problem when the config and hyprland was freshly installed onto a Debian system with KDE installed. I recently installed my system yesterday.

nwg-look only sets GTK cursor. In order to change it in Hyprland you have to edit the hyprland configuration

Also if you make changes in KDE it will often impact the GTK settings in Hyprland and vice-versa

To change the cursor in Hyprland, set the theme and size in ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf using environment variables for consistent application, or use hyprctl for temporary changes. Add env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,YourThemeName and env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24 to your configuration file.

Methods to Change Cursor in Hyprland
Config File (Recommended): Add the following to hyprland.conf to set the theme and size permanently:

env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,Bibata-Modern-Ice
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24

I also usually add this to my startup
hyprctl setcursor Bibata-Modern-Ice 24
