said Dr. Nikolaus Klepp via tde-users:
| IMO you need all these 3 places to be changed - note: use a valid | Xcursor theme name if you want to change it from default:
| ~/.Xresources:
| ! Xcursor.theme: default | Xcursor.size: 48
Aha! On a whim I made an .Xresources file containing what you describe, and it worked. But I've hit another bump: while 24 is too small, 48 tends to be too big. Neither 30, 32, or 36 seems to work at all. Am I stuck?
Apparently there is, or used to be, a way to set the whole thing, for the entire system. Haven't made it my own yet, though.
Not all cursors come in a size between 22 and 48. Try 28. If that's no help, try different cursors. The dmz-cursor-theme package provides 32. I specify in /etc/X11/Xresources in some distros. In some others, I put a file in /etc/X11/Xresources.d/. In Debian, it's:
cat /etc/X11/Xresources/cursors32dmzw
Xcursor.theme: DMZ-White Xcursor.size: 32
I'm thinking that in not all Linux releases and TDE releases is this enough, but provides the means for using KControl to select DMZ White, which then picks up size 32 from the global setting.
