Hi Alex, In my last message, I suggested that you should read the man page for xsetroot, as it provides several options for changing your cursor settings in X. The example I gave was just of the way that I use it. If you want to use xsetroot to increase your cursor size, try adding this line to your ~/.xsession file: xsetroot -xcf /run/current-system/profile/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/left_ptr 32 For this Xcursor file to be available, you'll need to make sure that you have installed the following package into your system profile. - adwaita-icon-theme If you would prefer a different cursor than the left_ptr, feel free to pick any file in the `cursors` directory. Have fun and happy hacking!
