        Cursor configuration. Set to `null` to disable.

        Top-level options declared under this submodule are backend independent
        options. Options declared under namespaces such as `x11`
        are backend specific options. By default, only backend independent cursor
        configurations are generated. If you need configurations for specific
        backends, you can toggle them via the enable option. For example,
        [](#opt-home.pointerCursor.x11.enable)
        will enable x11 cursor configurations.

        Note that this will merely generate the cursor configurations.
        To apply the configurations, the relevant subsytems must also be configured.
        For example, [](#opt-home.pointerCursor.gtk.enable) will generate
        the gtk cursor configuration, but [](#opt-gtk.enable) needs
        to be set for it to be applied.
