Over the panel, the mouse cursor appears as a clean vector graphic.
However, when hovering over workspace view applets or calendar applets, the cursor changes to a pixelated version.

This pixelation also occurs in GTK apps and Flatpak applications.

The issue does not appear in Cosmic apps, Qt applications, or when hovering over the desktop wallpaper.

When zooming (using Super+mouse wheel) or applying screen scaling, the cursor not only becomes pixelated but also slightly changes in size.

Cosmic doesn't use SVG cursors or any other vector format (I believe only KWin does that at the moment).

The cursor pixalating on certain toolkits is simply the toolkit in question taking over cursor drawing and not selecting an appropriate scale. Which may be a misconfiguration of the cursor theme on your system (as that works fine here for most apps for me including applets).

The zooming issue is linked to the fact we don't support SVG cursors. Before that there is no good way to fix that.
