[Solved] arrow size

No matter what size I set it the arrow , it defaults to small unless I run it over the title bar of open programs ........... how can I get it to use the size I want ?

Re: [Solved] arrow size

Ok, I partly got it using this, but it doesn't survive a restart ........ any ideas?

 

1) Select a different cursor theme
2) ALT + F2 (or Run Program)
3) xfwm4 --replace

Re: [Solved] arrow size

I assume you mean the mouse cursor.  Have you used Applications Menu/Settings/Mouse/Cursor size, and set the number to a larger size?  I'm not clear on exactly what you have done.  What cursor theme are you using?

I tried all the cursor themes and desktop themes ,it still doesn't work ........ searching I've found this bug has been around for years , there should be a fix by now. I just want a bigger arrow .

Re: [Solved] arrow size

Ok, I think I have got it figured out ,

To changer arrow size in Xubuntu;

in ;   Xfce-settings
Just go to settings manager, mouse and select your theme

 
in "~/.gtkrc-2.0" add
gtk-cursor-theme-name="the-theme-name"
gtk-cursor-theme-size=48

of course put in your  theme name , and the size you want.

you will need to restart for setting to take effect.
