This week in KDE: SVG Breeze cursors and more thumbnails

First up is something cool: support for SVG-based cursor themes! This allows compatible themes to always display beautiful sharp cursors at any size, and has already been rolled out for the Breeze Light and Breeze Dark cursor themes. It does not use the Hyprcursor system, and we have not yet upstreamed it to be a different cross-desktop spec. However, we are considering doing so in the near future. This work was done by Jin Liu and Vlad Zahorodnii, and lands in Plasma 6.2.0.

On the subject of cross-desktop specs, KDE apps now does support the cross-desktop thumbnailer spec, meaning that any of these thumbnailers already on the system will now instantly start working! One of the most notable examples would be the STL file thumbnailer, which will be a boon for anyone working with 3D models or 3D printers. This work was done by Akseli Lahtinen and lands in KDE Frameworks 6.6.

Ugh why make the default theme SVG? It’s much slower.

Because they’ve borrowed the ‘shake mouse to make cursor grow’ feature from macos and resizing non-svg cursors like that looks ugly

Oh ok. I hope they don’t make stuff that doesn’t need it SVG.

I am loving that color scheme. Wow!

Cool, previously when I tried that shake mouse to find cursor feature it was a pixelated mess. It made it feel like a poorly made third party modification, not a first party DE feature.

Jumuta ,

it’s fixed now
