Releases: Morxemplum/posys-cursor-scalable
Release v1.2
This new release formalizes the addition of the "extra" cursors that are offered by Posy (minus the inverted cursors that are already included by default). These extra cursors are not bundled with any of the tarballs; you'll have to manually export them and swap out the SVGs before you run the install script. The main purpose of adding the "extra" cursors was to mirror the level of customization that was present with the rasters.
This release also introduces several improvements on the existing cursors. This release fixes some quirks spotted in the SVGs, along with further optimizing some of the SVGs to save on file space (which is silly, but good to get these cursors as small as possible).
Changes since 1.1
- Added "extra" cursors (not included)
- Enlargened "forbidden" and "move" cursors
- I foolishly was a bit too faithful with the original rasters here
- Fixed size inconsistency with the diagonal size cursors
- Fixed a slight disfiguration in the pinky finger of the "hand" cursor
- Posy's SVG for some strange reason has this, and I only caught this when making some of the extra cursors
- Fixed some asymmetrical positioning in the arrows of the "move" cursor
- Again, Posy's SVG has this problem
- Fixed an issue with stair-stepping on the hourglass cursor
- Seems like my programmable method had a slight defect where the edges of the colors had aliasing
- Optimized several SVGs, shrinking the file sizes of exported SVGs by 25-70%
Release v1.1
This updated release brings in all missing essential features that were too complicated to include in the initial release, bringing this release to be feature parity with the original Posy's Cursors. This release completes all of the mainline work needed to make this theme a reality.
This isn't the final release, as there is still plenty to explore past this point. The "extra" cursors, getting the theme full compliance with Freedesktop's cursor specification, creating configurations for other desktop environments (KDE Plasma) / window managers should they adopt SVG cursors, or even some of the less popular themes (e.g. strokeless). I'll get around to these when I have the time, but I have other priorities.
Changes from 1.0
- Added animations to the "watch" (wait) and "background" (progress) cursors. Animations are programmable to change duration, frame rate, and even reversing the animation.
- Added "Alt" cursor (not bundled as there is no "alt" cursor in Linux)
- Fixed some incorrect overrides in the Size cursors
- Building and installing hyprcursor themes has been streamlined with a shell script
- Adopted the CC BY-NC 4.0 license (The exact same license Posy uses)
