* fix(flutter): shrink the unzoomed remote cursor by DPR on macOS and Linux With "Zoom cursor" off in Adaptive or Custom view, the remote cursor bitmap was registered at scale 1.0. NSCursor and GdkCursor treat the bitmap size as logical pixels, so on a HiDPI controller the cursor was drawn DPR times larger than in Original view (which already passes 1/DPR) and than on Windows (whose cursor path is in physical pixels). A HiDPI remote such as KDE Wayland sends a 48-64 px bitmap, which then showed up 3-4x too big on a Retina Mac. Scale the bitmap by 1/DPR in that case, and scale the Flutter-painted cursor used while the peer moves the mouse the same way so its size does not jump. The new branch is an identity at DPR 1 and the Windows paths are untouched.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01K8HSHTEHo27mDcJXVyVfSP * fix(flutter): keep the painted cursor hotspot in place when zoom cursor is off `CursorPaint` subtracted the hotspot in remote pixels and then scaled it by the canvas scale, but drew the image at scale 1.0, so the hotspot landed hotx * (1 - scale) logical pixels away from the remote cursor position. Cursors with a centered hotspot (I-beam, crosshair) were off by up to half their size in Adaptive view. Subtract the hotspot after scaling the position instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01K8HSHTEHo27mDcJXVyVfSP * fix(flutter): read the live DPR and clamp the painted cursor like the native one CanvasModel caches devicePixelRatio and only refreshes it when the view style changes, so after the window moves to a monitor with a different DPR the unzoomed cursor kept the previous monitor's scale. Read it from MediaQuery instead, which also rebuilds the cursor when it changes. The native path clamps the scaled bitmap to kMinCursorSize; apply the same clamp to the painted cursor so a small cursor does not change size when the peer moves the mouse.

However, this is difficult to adjust because the cursor size is fixed while the window size varies; its relative size depends on the specific desktop environment. We can modify it if users actually provide feedback. Ideally, we should check the "Zoom cursor" option. Further adjustments may also be needed later based on cursor density.

Yet another remote desktop solution, written in Rust. Works out of the box with no configuration required. You have full control of your data, with no concerns about security. You can use our rendezvous/relay server, set up your own, or write your own rendezvous/relay server.
RustDesk welcomes contribution from everyone. See CONTRIBUTING.md for help getting started.
Dependencies
Desktop versions use Flutter or Sciter (deprecated) for GUI. This tutorial is for Sciter only, since it is easier and more friendly to start. Check out our CI for building the Flutter version.
Please download Sciter dynamic library yourself.

Install vcpkg, and set
VCPKG_ROOTenv variable correctly- Windows: vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static aom:x64-windows-static
- Linux/macOS: vcpkg install libvpx libyuv opus aom

How to build with Docker
Begin by cloning the repository and building the Docker container:
git clone https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker build -t "rustdesk-builder" .
Then, each time you need to build the application, run the following command:
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home/user/rustdesk -v rustdesk-git-cache:/home/user/.cargo/git -v rustdesk-registry-cache:/home/user/.cargo/registry -e PUID="$(id -u)" -e PGID="$(id -g)" rustdesk-builder
Note that the first build may take longer before dependencies are cached, subsequent builds will be faster. Additionally, if you need to specify different arguments to the build command, you may do so at the end of the command in the <OPTIONAL-ARGS> position. For instance, if you wanted to build an optimized release version, you would run the command above followed by --release. The resulting executable will be available in the target folder on your system, and can be run with:
target/debug/rustdesk
Or, if you're running a release executable:
target/release/rustdesk
Please ensure that you run these commands from the root of the RustDesk repository, or the application may not find the required resources. Also note that other cargo subcommands such as install or run are not currently supported via this method as they would install or run the program inside the container instead of the host.
