    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
