Description tylerecouture 2015-12-01 08:01:26 UTC

If you increase the size of your cursor, Krita ignores it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change size of cursor using Mouse and Touchpad settings in Linux Mint
2. Open and use Krita

Actual Results:  
When cursor is within Krita window, pointer goes back to default small size

Expected Results:  
Krita should honor cursor pointer size (not for brushes, which have their own size, but any other tool.

Hi,

Yes, I can confirm that this happens. Well, I know it happens: Krita comes with its own set of cursor images. I'm not sure what to do, though, add yet another cursor option "system" -- which would make this technically a wish?

Can you change the  pointer cursor (arrow) ,  or just the brush cursors when on the canvas? 

Seems logical/intuitive to use the system pointer in place of the arrow, and Krita's cursors on the canvas (brush outlines etc.) 

If there's a way to change the arrow in Krita, then that's an easy work around, but I didn't see it.

I tested it and on my system the Krita cursor follows the system cursor. Could be that the Mint settings don't change the right cursor.  With the KDE system settings it works at least.

Weirdly enough, with plasma 5 on kubuntu 15.10 and Krita 3.0, the cursor change wasn't followed either.

I have exactly the same setup here and it works.

Comment 6 Halla Rempt 2016-05-18 21:41:17 UTC

Then I think it's a plasma issue, not a Krita issue.
