Using [[Home Manager]] try configuring a general mouse cursor size and theme

Using [[Home Manager]] try configuring a general mouse cursor size and theme. The reason that your cursor might be missing in some applications, is because <code>XCURSOR_THEME</code>is missing, which will cause applications relying on <code>XWAYLAND</code> to misbehave. Setting <code>sway.enable = true</code>, combined with the <code>name</code>, <code>package</code> and size will set the correct environment variables, which sway will then use.
