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*...

Leslie

Years ago I needed a big cursor for a tiny little display, so I went down that rabbithole. You can basicly use any icon package that has a "X_cursor"-file in it. "Xcursor.size" has been there since the beginning of time I think, and TDE and all sane DEs or WMs honor it - that said, GNOME is not honorable at all, as it does not honor .Xresources ...

Hello Nikolaus

Hi Rolf (or Kurt)!

Yes, I'm very rich and have even a third prename :-)) and use it in different accounts. While my mail with "Rolf" wasn't sent by gmx.net I logged in into the web frontend and send the mail again - suddenly gmx send both.

Install "adwaita-icon-theme". Then in tde control center select Icon theme adwaita. In ~/.Xresources add this line: Xcursor.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 ...

BTW: Do you know - or is it possible - to scale (enlarge) the window buttons (close, full screen) as well.

Many thanks for the trick.

The easiest way would be to force a higher DPI setting - 250 or more - search the list, there was just some weeks ago a thread on DPI settings. If that's not what you need things get more complicated, as you'll need to change the theme settings. For TDE from the control center, for GNOME 3 ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css - e.g.

scrollbar, scrollbar button, scrollbar slider { -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: true; -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: true; min-width: 20px; min-height: 20px; border-radius: 2px;

/* Padding around the slider */ /*border: 1px solid transparent;*/ border: 0px; }

makes 20px scrollbar. You can install any GTK theme and look at the *.css files. All settings you would like to override the theme settings sould go to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css . e.g. "mate-themes": /usr/share/themes/Blue-Submarine/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css has a lot of starting points :)
