I have downloaded the Debian package big-cursor (I have sadly given up on comixcursors for now - I'll try again in Stretch). It is definitely there:

But I cannot find a way of persuading Trinity Control Centre mouse themes to see it.
Any suggestions? Or any other suggestions as to how I can get a large, preferably red, cursor (but any large one will do) in Debian 8 and Trinity 14?
Thanks. Lisi
You can install some package with "cursor theme" - for example crystalcursors, comixcursors-righthanded, xcursor-themes,...
Thanks, Slávek.
I have installed both comixcursors (virtual package), comixcursors-righthanded-opaque, big-cursor and dmz-cursor-theme. At that point I saw no point in installing any more packages with cursor themes. comixcursors installs only small cursors in the combination 8 and 14 (cf my earlier correspondence on this list with Gene), so as I say I am waiting for Stretch. Meanwhile I was trying to get one of the others going. Since I have located big-cursor it seemed the most likely to succeed. I know that dmz is there - it is in the control center list but will not "work" - but I haven't narrowed its location down yet.
I'll try Nik's suggestion.
