accurse

Atomsky's cursor packager

Why?

Theming cursors for different standards is a curse. accurse alleviates the curse by allowing you to package hyprcursor and xcursor in a manageable way.

Installation

accurse is a python package. You can install it using pip install accurse. I'd recommend cloning this repository and installing the package locally, if you want to make use of the assets. uv is a great tool for such a use case.

The package needs the commands rsvg-convert and xcursorgen to be in the PATH. If you are on Arch, make sure the following packages are installed:

librsvg
xorg-xcursorgen

Usage

accurse expects the path to a metadata.toml as an argument. This metadata file describes the cursor shapes, their aliases and hotspots. The metadata specification is provided in the next section. If you have an assets directory, the metadata.toml file should be in that directory. For example, if there are SVG cursor files in the assets/Bibata directory (or its subdirectories) along with metadata.toml, the following command creates packaged Bibata cursors (both xcursor and hycursor) in assets/AC-Bibata.

accurse assets/Bibata/metadata.toml

You can then move the AC-Bibata directory to an appropriate location, such as ~/.local/share/icons, to be able to use the packaged cursors. Afterward, change the cursor theme and size in different config files. Here's my personal script to set the cursor theme and size for GTK and Hyprland. A reboot of the WM is sometimes necessary because some apps use environment variables to set cursors.

Metadata

The templates directory contains an example metadata.toml. Skim through that file first as it's pretty self-explanatory. The following table specifies what accurse looks for in the metadata file.

`[theme]`

Field	Type	Description
name	string	name of the theme
description	string	description of the theme
version	string	version of the theme
author	string	author of the theme

`[config]`

Field	Type	Description
shape_size	number	size of the (square) SVGs
x_hotspot	number	default hotspot x-coordinate
y_hotspot	number	default hotspot y-coordinate
old_substr	list of strings	target substrings
new_substr	list of strings	replacement substrings
mirror	boolean	mirror shapes with flip=1 flag
xcur_sizes	list of numbers	compile xcursors of these sizes
cleanup	list of strings	delete "hycur" or "xcur" build files

`[cursors.shape]`

Field	Type	Description
x_hotspot	number	hotspot x-coordinate
y_hotspot	number	hotspot y-coordinate
symlinks	list of strings	shape aliases
animated	boolean	whether it's animated
anim_delay	number	delay between frames (ms)
flips	boolean	whether to flip shape if mirror=1
