Hi Lisi!

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:
brian@Linux:/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc$ locate big-cursor
/usr/share/doc/big-cursor
/usr/share/doc/big-cursor/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/big-cursor/changelog.gz

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?
The "big-cursor"-package does not work out of the box (any more), I'm
afraid.
Please install "xcursor-themes" and this line to your ~/.Xresources:
Xcursor.size: 48
When you restart TDE, the ~/.Xresources are usually loaded automaticly.
When you restart TDE, all good X11 apps have a 48 pixel cursor. That implies, all GNOME
and GTK based stuff does not! So let's try to fix GNOME ingenuity:
Install "dconf-cli" and "lxappearance", set the cursor size for GTK3
apps (you could also edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini my hand):
$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/cursor-size 48
this will not fix things like terminator/firefox/..., some apps like zim will partly work.
Let's fix some GTK2 stuff:
$ lxappearance
Select whatever you like, but you cannot set the cursor size there. This has to be done
manually:
$ kate ~/.gtkrc-2.0
Edit the line with gtk-cursor-theme-size:
gtk-cursor-theme-size=48
Now you know why I hate GNOMEs so much ... Anyway, restart TDE and everything should use
48 pixel cursor.
