Mouse cursor size

[Jing Su]

Is it just trouble finding the cursor?  or trying to see it in general?

Gnome has a feature where pressing CTRL will draw an animation sequence
around the cursor to help you find its location.

If you're running with the NVIDIA drivers, you could try adding a
drop-shadow around the cursor, to make it stand out from the rest of the
screen's contents.  I know that many people adept at computer UIs make fun
of the cursor drop-shadow, but it does give a useful visual cue to some
people (my parents, for example, love it).

Alternatively, maybe some more colourful cursors?
