big-cursor lxde Ubuntu Precise 12.04

[seeker]

I installed big-cursor but I can't figure out how to switch to it. It hasn't shown up with the cursors in appearance. I thought when I installed it once before it became selected automatically. This time I can't even find it. Any suggestions?

I guess we need to know how you installed it and where you installed it from. Also did it have dependencies that may not have been installed when you installed the application?

Thanks. Yeah, I guess I was kind of tired and stupid when I posted that. This is on a Lubuntu 12.04 Precise, 64 bit system. I don't remember whether I installed it with "sudo apt-get install big-cursor" or with Synaptic but it would have been one of the two. I haven't added any unusual repositories so it must have come from one of the standard ones.

OK seeker. I downloaded and installed big-cursor and I have be same problem that you have and I am using 12.10. I did a Googlubuntu search and got this site.

I have watched it and it is a bit hard to understand but it may help you.
I also discovered that big cursor only works with some applications. Not sure if that is correct but this note is just to let you know that I haven't forgot about your problem.

Edit. Just found this.

Perhaps it is more to the point.
