Change size and color of mouse pointer?
Change size and color of mouse pointer?
Hello Puppy Devs and all,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who searches for their mouse on screen sometimes, and I remember being allowed to change the size and the color of the pointer in Xandros Linux. So could there be a way to do this from the Live CD?
In Puppy 4.3.1, I had visions of being on Windows with popping up stuff and being unstable...nope, just me trying to find my mouse and it hitting either side of the display and stuff launching and my folders closing. Pretty please, help our poor old eyes out.
Thanks,
Joan in Reno

Pcur cursor selector will do this.
Go to menu

You will have to install some cursor themes. It will tell you how.

Pcur is the program.
Some of the cursor themes are larger cursor.
So, try some different themes.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Dwnld then extract this to ~/.icons. Now run "pcur" from a shell and choose your new "whitelarge" cursor.
If your browser is Mozilla based, does the cursor remain large when moving around in your browser window?

Yes, the browser thing is what I asked.

Search your system for a "cursor.theme" file.
Tell me where it is and what's inside..

As I'm not @ the moment on the correct box, here, I'm thinking you need to run this, then restart X.
Make sure you copy'n paste..
