I owe you a big thank you, Slávek, as so often. I had been having a lot of
trouble locating the mouse pointer I was currently using on my desktop, but
had not yet got down to the hassle of going onto the KDE eye-candy page and
finding myself a new theme. I have succeeded that way, and knew that I could
do it - but it is a hassle. Then you sent this email. I downloaded and
installed this package immediately, then went into KControl to look at it.
(On this box I am still on 3.5.13.2. I know that I should upgrade, but there
is never a good moment.)
My first impression was that they were ugly. My second that I should at least
try - and red was available. I find red stands out well. (Except against
black.) So I switched to Large Red. I don't like the shape. It isn't
pretty. But I haven't lost the mouse pointer a single time since I switched.
I am just so grateful, Slávek. Who cares if my mouse pointer is pretty??? I
CAN SEE IT!!!!! And there is still extra large available, should I need it.
Thank you so much.
And now that I have got used to it, the matching cursor is great too. Again,
clearly visible. The red balls at either end really stand out.

Greetings all;
I am having a problem with the mouse pointer being very hard to find on
the milling machines box. TCC doesn't show me any themes, so what do I
need to install that will A, give me a bigger pointer, and B color it
some bright color with buckets of contrast on the default bluish TDE
screen?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
Look for packages comixcursors:
aptitude search "comixcursors"
