i have turned ‘shake cursor’ off, but the problem still exists

Maybe you have to logout and login again to make this working? Did you apply your settings? :wink:

yes i did, when i logout: the cursors is in its normal size in the login screen, but after login it shows very big

The only idea would be to check your cursor settings in KDE and to recheck “shake cursor”.

Hmm. Is it big over all applications or just some?

I’m assuming Wayland?

this problem happened after i updated the system
i cant open spectacle also it says: ‘spectacle requires kde plasma kwin compositor’
and when i try: qdbus in the terminal it prints: command not found
i feel like the system is unstable and has a problem

Oh that’s sounding like it needs specific Endeavour knowledge and I’m a newbie to it. Sorry I can’t be more help.

What desktop are you running?

I had something similar happening in Gnome. The default cursor of the default theme grew bigger and more pixelated when hovering over objects. I “solved” this by changing cursor to Adwaita theme (personally I was never fan of the default cursor theme, so this was not an issue for me).

If you are using Gnome, you can relatively easily change theme for desktop and cursor on the settings app.

Hopefully you find an answer for this problem of yours, if this was not helpful for you!

Then your system is totally borked, I would backup and reinstall.
