Larger brush tool cursor?

Tue Aug 07, 2018 7:02 am
The brush tool cursor is a circle the diameter of the line you are drawing. Unfortunately, I draw thin lines, and have a hard time seeing the correspondingly small circle. Is there a way to make it more visible? Maybe have a cross-hair on top or something?

To be honest I find Krita's cursor icon selection too small. I guess it could have to do with my display too, which has serious ghosting on certain color transitions which makes the cursor hard to see when drawing quickly. I usually use "Arrow" choice from user preferences in Krita and then load in the operating system a large cursor set (Extra Large/32x32 pixels in Windows, the maximum supported, or even larger on Linux).

It would be useful to directly have very large, high contrast cursors directly in Krita.

I currently use a custom large cursor in the OS:

There is no drawing application in the world that has a larger selection of cursor shapes...

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant small selection as in "the cursors are small". Either way, in my case a similar problem was solved by choosing "Arrow" and a (much) larger cursor in the OS, and this could be a viable solution for kekie too.

Ideally cursor size could be configured with a multiplying value, or alternatively, since not everybody can be pleased even with this, a custom cursor option could be introduced.
