The "big-cursor"-package does not work out of the box (any more), I'm afraid. Please install "xcursor-themes" and this line to your ~/.Xresources: Xcursor.size: 48 When you restart TDE, the ~/.Xresources are usually loaded automaticly. When you restart TDE, all good X11 apps have a 48 pixel cursor. That implies, all GNOME and GTK based stuff does not! So let's try to fix GNOME ingenuity: Install "dconf-cli" and "lxappearance", set the cursor size for GTK3 apps (you could also edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini my hand): $ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/cursor-size 48 this will not fix things like terminator/firefox/..., some apps like zim will partly work. Let's fix some GTK2 stuff: $ lxappearance Select whatever you like, but you cannot set the cursor size there. This has to be done manually: $ kate ~/.gtkrc-2.0 Edit the line with gtk-cursor-theme-size: gtk-cursor-theme-size=48 Now you know why I hate GNOMEs so much ... Anyway, restart TDE and everything should use 48 pixel cursor.
