<p>I found <a href="https://π.duncano.de" class="uri"
target="_blank">https://π.duncano.de</a>, a xcursor-theme inspired and
based on the <a href="https://plan9.io/plan9/" target="_blank">plan9</a>
cursors set:</p>

<p>Installing that on my system, it turns out, the Wayland ecosystem
still has a <a
href="https://blogs.kde.org/2024/10/09/cursor-size-problems-in-wayland-explained/"
target="_blank">hard time</a> with cursor scaling. So I tried my hand at
fixing the problem and making something that will be usable once more <a
href="https://blog.vladzahorodnii.com/2024/10/06/svg-cursors-everything-that-you-need-to-know-about-them/"
target="_blank">modern</a> approaches take wider hold.</p>
<p>I created SVGs based on the above pixel-based cursors and wrote a
script, that is heavily inspired and based on what I found in KDE’s <a
href="https://invent.kde.org/plasma/breeze/-/tree/master/cursors/Breeze/"
target="_blank">Breeze</a> sources.</p>
<p>Check it out: <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~robertgzr/plan9-cursors"
