Description Shaun Roselt 2025-08-22 12:47:04 UTC 
SUMMARY

One of my computers have a very high resolution and therefore I've set the default cursor to be 72 in size and my font size to 32pt.

But the issue is that the cursors sizes are limited to 72. I can't make it any bigger and I really want to make it bigger. It's still a little small.

We should be able to make the cursor bigger in my opinion.

This is specifically for the default Breeze Dark and Breeze Light Cursors

Can't you use screen scaling? Then you don't need to ramp up cursor and font sizes as much.

I don't really want to increase my scaling to be honest. 

There are other Cursor packs that have larger than 72. It's just Breeze that is limited to 72 and I would really like to use Breeze :D

Well, that's the problem. :) 

As explained in other bug reports of yours, using a 50% scale factor with huge fonts isn't supported. If you use the normal scaling approach instead, the cursors will adjust automatically, and the result will be much better (not to mention compatible with multi-screen setups with mixed DPIs, which isn't possible with your font-based approach).

I'm afraid we can't put work into supporting this, sorry.
