This shows how tiny the cursor shows up for me
SUMMARY
The mouse cursor is very, very tiny!
I'm legally blind and just tried to use this app as a hopeful alternative to
Lightroom. Fairly new to Linux Desktop. The mouse cursor being so tiny most of
the time (sometimes appears larger) is an absolute show stopper for me.
I've tried other tips for enabling larger cursors for Qt apps but none of them
work, so please just tell me what I should do to get a larger cursor, or if
there's something you can code up to improve this experience.

Version 8.4.0
Build date: 7/12/24 4:16 PM (target: RelWithDebInfo)
Revision: 5e59e2643c4e55ca52b6de00ef58f64fee225025
Branch: HEAD
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch latest AppImage on recent GNOME Wayland version.
OBSERVED RESULT
Note the tiny mouse cursor.
Sometimes my very large cursor shows up, like when I'm taking a regular
screenshot (this forum seems to only allow one attachment). Believe me, the
cursor I want is about twice as tall as the menu bar.
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect the cursor to have the same size as on my other GNOME apps, as set in
the Accessibility Settings.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Given above.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Maybe you guys don't support GNOME but that's ridiculous. I know GNOME is a
pain. They don't listen to people, and especially to users with disabilities.
But we've got to find workarounds.
I'm a developer - https://github.com/dra11y
I work mostly in Rust, Flutter, and have dabbled in C/C++ but not enough to be
dangerous. Happy to give something a try if directed specifically.
Otherwise, I've tried all these in my .profile:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
export XCURSOR_SIZE=96
export XCURSOR_THEME=Adwaita
export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2
Don't know what else to do.
Thanks for your understanding.
