When you install Hyprland - Arch you get the default cursor, and it is ok but... boring, so to spice things up why not change it to have some sugar eye efect?

Edit your hyprland.conf

ensure update/add:

env = XCURSOR_SIZE,64
env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,Future-Cyan
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,64

Reload the config

hyprctl to set the cursor at 64 pixels

Above configuration examples uses a size of 64 (best for my retina display) is likely you wanna use 24 or 32.
