cursor with more dpi

[dennisbern]

hey you can upload your own cursor. it seems it always has 72dpi. no matter what resolution we upload. the cursor looks blurry on hd screens. is there a way to have a bigger resolution? thanks dennis

[arminunruh]

would you be able to use a svg?

[dennisbern]

Ah okay. We will check it out. I asked my graphic designer for a svg file.

[arminunruh]

Okay, when you use the SVG file, make sure to open it in a text editor. The SVG needs to have a width and height attribute for it to be usable as a cursor, and it can't be bigger than 128x128 pixels.

@arminunruh Yes, I had to remove the svg after posting because the cursor was not showing at all. Not very helpful when I ask for help :). Sorry about that.

The file is here: https://biografie.art/cursor2_adaption/

[arminunruh]

the svg contains a style that removes the visibility of an element inside your svg.

maybe use a simpler svg that doesnt hide sth in it?
otherwise it looks fine

i opened the svg with a texteditor

[arminunruh]

create a .svg file, open it with a texteditor and insert the following SVG markup. For me, this SVG works as a cursor.
