I encountered an interesting problem: my mouse curser (Arrow, PointingHand, Bar... Symbol) got scaled in spite of the font staying the same size.

I'm running Windows 11 with WSL2
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=24.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=noble DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS"

I researched and tried

  • changing the cursor size through gsettings:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size XX
  • resetting font size in Emacs
  • playing around with the Cursor Types within Emacs (Frame default, filled box, box with specific size...)

Nothing worked so far.

  • You don't say how or when or in what context it "got changed". Did it change in Emacs? Did it also stay changed outside Emacs? Not much to go on, to help, by maybe someone will be able to. Commented Dec 30, 2024 at 17:49
  • Does it work same way for other GUI apps? While testing that, please make sure the app you're testing is using X11 rather than Wayland, because cursor rendering differs on both platforms, and Emacs currently is an X11 app, while Gnome typically runs Wayland session. Commented Jan 2 at 22:19
