Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-ui] OS cursor size units and property (#12048)

Thanks! Those are both interesting use-cases. And I think @frivoal's bullet points expand well on your first os-setting concern. Not only do we want to respect the os setting, but we might want to adjust from it, like making it larger on hover. That's where CSS would come in.

With the second case, I'm curious what the design considerations there are. Do you as a user really want your OS setting to change the size of other people's cursors shown on your screen? And if there's text attached to the cursor, would you want that to be based on your font preferences or your cursor preferences? I would expect the former.

I think you should already be able to adjust cursors based on light/dark mode, by changing the `cursor` value in a media query?
