How can I set the cursor size in lxappareance 0.4

Post by julianlx »

Hi,

I'm using LXDE in Debian Squeeze. I'm unable to set the cursor theme or size.
It is any configuration file to do so?

Thanks,

Julian

Probably not recommended by the experts, but this is how I got a nice 'Vista look' Aero Cursor theme.
Download this cursor theme: Aero Mouse Extra Large with Drop Shadow
From: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ ... tent=67833
Extract: aero-extra-large-drop.tar.gz to a folder such as Documents or Downloads.
Copy the extracted aero-extra-large-drop folder to : /usr/share/icons ensuring that you have first opened /usr/share/icons as root (Tools, Open Current Folder as Root, in PCManFM).
Create a hidden file in your home folder ~/.Xresources.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xresources
Note: ~/.Xdefaults is deprecated, so use ~/.Xresources instead.
I have included font settings in this as well, for those that need to configure fonts.

! Xft settings ---------------------------------------------------------------

Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight

Xcursor.theme:aero-extra-large-drop

Logout and Login for the settings to take effect.
Enjoy.
