I'm looking for lager mouse cursors for a touch screen. Where can i find some? Fine regards Rolf
Hi Rolf (or Kurt)!
Install "adwaita-icon-theme". Then in tde control center select Icon theme adwaita.
In ~/.Xresources add this line:
Xcursor.size: 48
In ~/.gtkrc-2.0 add these lines:
gtk-cursor-theme-name="Adwaita" gtk-cursor-theme-size=48
In ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini add these lines:
gtk-cursor-theme-name=Adwaita gtk-cursor-theme-size=48
Now praise the wise GNOMEs for their unconvoluted settings files ...

Just out of curiosity, where did you find this information about configuring the Adwaita theme? It's not in /usr/share/doc/packages/adwaita*...

For your off-list question on how to mirror the cursor:
you have 2 options:
1) go to your themes directory, e.g. /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/. Modify the symlinks so that you have right pointers where left pointers were. Restart your X session. As usual, you can work on a copy etc.
2) take out the scalpel and start the real fun. The GNOMEs of GNOMEistan have savely removed the PNGs from the sources of their themes, only xcursor-themes is complete. So either stay with xcursor-themes get "xcur2png" - https://web.archive.org/web/20120710014541/http://cli-apps.org/content/show.... - the sources are at https://github.com/eworm-de/xcur2png - jost ./configure && make, komiles and works fine.
select a xcursor file, e.g "arrow", dissect the file:
$ xcur2png arrow
You now have some *.png and arrow.conf. Change the images as you like, then adapt the hotspot coordinate in *.conf. now reassamble the xcursor:
$ xcursorgen arrow.conf arrow-new
Replace the old "arrow" with "arrow-new", restart your x-session.
Oh, you can use gimp to look at the xcursor file, but I have not found a way to modify the hotspot with it.
