Quick start
# 1. install the dependencies # Arch Linux: pacman -Syu python librsvg xorg-xcursorgen # Fedora: dnf install librsvg2-tools xcursorgen # 2. clone git clone https://github.com/rtgiskard/bibata_cursor # 3. build cd bibata_cursor ./cursor_utils.py --hypr --x11 --out-dir ./out # 4. copy to user local icon theme cp -r ./out/Bibata-* ~/.local/share/icons/

The process of creating the cursor themes:
-
recolor SVG according to
render.json -
parse cursor settings from
build.toml -
generating cursor config for hyprcursor or Xcursor
-
Rendering SVG files to PNG files (Xcursor only)
-
Building cursor themes from SVG (hyprcursor) or PNG (Xcursor) files.
-
# Run the utils to check the help:
./cursor_utils.py -h
# Generate hyprcursor to `./out`:
./cursor_utils.py --hypr --out-dir ./out
# Generate both hyprcursor and Xcursor for `Bibata-Modern-Classic`:
./cursor_utils.py --hypr --x11 --theme Bibata-Modern-Classic --out-dir ./outAdjust build.toml: cursor_defaults.x11_sizes, add only sizes you need to shrink the cursor theme size.
For hyprcursor, it’s all vector image, with no need to set a specific size.
Adjust render.json: colors.replace, tweak the colors as you like:
-
Base color: which replaces the
#00FF00color in the SVG. -
Outlined color: which replaces the
#0000FFcolor in the SVG. -
Watch Background color: which replaces the
#FF0000color in the SVG.
