Chnging mouse pointer

[harbinger]

I want my mouse pointer to be larger and with a blue interior.

Larger can be done in system settings, choose mouse and touchpad. It will not apply when hovering over many things though, such as browsers. In system settings you can go to themes to look for a mouse cursor to suit your needs, but it will also change your entire desktop appearance.

An alternative way too would be to use the following command on terminal:

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.interface cursor-size MOUSE_SIZE

For example, setting cursor size to 60:

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.interface cursor-size 60

Maybe he wants to also create a new cursor? I'm new too and the farthest I know about it is that they are stored on /usr/share/icons/ directory but I have no idea how to create new themes/icons/cursors, it seems to be so many files that you have to mess around with. I hope someone can link a reference to a guide on that to him (and me since it's something I always wondered about)

Thanks for that, it worked perfectly. I last looked to fix that years ago and couldn't find anything.
