But maybe I should also mention that the gnomes of GNOME ignore the Xresources and
you'll need "dconf-editor" to get that working: "dconf-editor",
select "search" from the menu (which is at the top of the window), then a new
search field will appear (at the bottom of the window, sure) where you should type
"cursor-size". Change it to 24/32/48, whatever you like.
I suspect Redhat has a special taskforce to find most creative ways to break KISS.

And another of your messages marked as "important" so it doesn't get
expired, thanks Nik.
Cheers, Gene Heskett Obviously somebody has created these mouse
cursors, and they
probably didn't do it by typing a series of zeroes and ones into a
file. Is there a standard "cursor editor" software application? Or
at least a standard way to create a cursor theme?
You can use GIMP to modify/create Xcursor files. Install
adwaita-icon-theme, go to /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors and modify
the images:
# cd /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors
# for i in *; do mv $i $i.xmc
# chown <user>:<user> *
$ gimp /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/*.xmc
# cd /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors
# for i in *.xmc; do mv $i ${i%.xmc}
You'll see in gimp that each icon has 3 resolutions: 48px, 32px and
24px.
BTW, is there a way to change the default xcursor size from within
TDE? I have to put #Xcursor.size: 48
Xcursor.size: 32
in ~/.Xresources to get anything bigger than 24x24 pixel.
