Hi guys,

Currently the cursor gets larger on gtk4 apps such as nautilus, celluloid and blanket on wayland compositors like Gnome, Plasma, Niri, Hyprland, Sway and River. The cursor behaves normally on any other window, even on gtk3 and gtk2. This only started to happen about two days ago after a system update (I assume).

I used gradience(before any of the trouble started) to set gtk themes and it’s optional dependency adw-gtk3 and it worked fine. Adw-gtk3 is now adw-gtk-theme which is weird since gradience is still asking for adw-gtk3 to set themes even though adw-gtk-themes & adw-gtk-theme-git are listed as optional dependencies now. I have searched many forums and this is the only thing I could come up with that may have been the cause(on my end), I can’t wrap my head around it really, tried several thing but with no luck…

Anyway, would appreciate any help and if you are experiencing the same feel free to comment.

Thanks in advance
