[SOLVED] How to change cursor color (only) on XFCE gui

Hi,
I'm happy with standard xfce cursor set but I would like to change the color (only the color) of the cursor on graphical environment (not the terminal).. The standard set has only black or white cursors.
Is there a simple way to change the fill in color (let's say bright red, or shining green, just as example).
When working on high resolution monitor it would be easier (for me) to find it...

Thank in advance

You can install and use different cursor themes in Xfce. Configuration is at Settings Manager > Mouse and Touchpad > Theme. Here you can select different themes and adjust the cursor size.

Edit: There should also be a xfce4-find-cursor command that you can map to a keyboard shortcut if you need a visual cue to locate the mouse cursor.
