That's very helpful. The problem, though, isn't that they're not big enough but in the case of the I-beam -- the main offender -- too thin. Think the difference between regular and boldface. Armed as I now am with the information you provided, I think I'll be able to edit a theme and make the appropriate cursors thicker, of a bright color, or both, and save 'em under their original name in their original place. Looking online, LibreOffice has been receiving complaints about this issue for over a decade. They've done all sorts of stuff of marginal use, but ignored a problem with their core product. Kind of reminds me of KDE . . . | | ~/.Xresources: | | !
