X11: This shape is provided by a newer standard not supported by all cursor themes.

GLFW_RESIZE_NESW_CURSOR

#define GLFW_RESIZE_NESW_CURSOR   0x00036008

The top-right to bottom-left diagonal resize/move shape. This is usually a diagonal double-headed arrow.

Note

macOS: This shape is provided by a private system API and may fail with GLFW_CURSOR_UNAVAILABLE in the future.

Wayland: This shape is provided by a newer standard not supported by all cursor themes.

X11: This shape is provided by a newer standard not supported by all cursor themes.

GLFW_RESIZE_ALL_CURSOR

#define GLFW_RESIZE_ALL_CURSOR   0x00036009

The omni-directional resize cursor/move shape. This is usually either a combined horizontal and vertical double-headed arrow or a grabbing hand.

GLFW_NOT_ALLOWED_CURSOR
