        Sounds like you used the system as advertised. If anything I’m disappointed you didn’t go bigger.

        “Every time I shake my mouse the curser gets bigger” sounds like a BeamNG drive youtube video.

      The Breeze one seems to scale smoothly. I noticed because I switched to a different one, but then noticed how it got super pixelated, which made me switch back.

        in the article it says they did a temporary workaround for the breeze cursor. (shipping 100mb worth of cursor sizes)

          They said the workaround was shipping the large cursors in a separate, compressed image format. To avoid specifically that.
