Some suggestions for improving adoption of this: 1. Don't have a dependency on hyprlang. Other projects will probably be averse to that. Use a more common configuration language, using a common library. 2. Have a shim layer so that hyprcursor cursors can be used by applications that use the XCursor API (maybe have a drop in replacement library for libxcursor that delegates to hyprcursor). 3. Have a specification so other implementations can use the cursor format as well, in case other compositors/clients don't like your implementation for some reason.

  What is XDG ini?
  - reactordev 3y ago
    XDG is the freedesktop group I believe. https://specifications.freedesktop.org/ https://specifications.freedesktop.org/
    - blueflow 3y ago
      Yes, i knew that. What is XDG ini?
      - nine_k 3y ago
        The format they use. Find and view a *.desktop file, for instance.
        blueflow 3y ago
        *.desktop files are at most ini-like, they have a different specification that does not mention "INI" at all. What did formerly_proven refer to when saying "XDG ini"?
        lpribis 3y ago
        "INI" is not a specification. All INI parsers are slightly different, such that people refer to any file with [Section] Key = Value Format as "INI" or INI-like, including the xdg format.

        Heck. TOML is a superset of it.
        lionkor 3y ago
        A subset, any TOML is a valid INI, but not nearly all INI are valid TOML

It should be noted that the author is the creator of hyprland/hyprlang, so perhaps not too surprising that they made it a dependency, although I do agree with you.
