Large mouse pointer
A lot has happened since i made my first post on here had covid twice but was not bad for me just like a normal cold the wife not done so well still in hostpital but be home next week thats the bad stuff.
The good stuff is this trisquel thing is still going great no problems infact it is doing so well i have also installed it on the lounge computer we use as entertainment center but as you can guess we sit quite a way from the screen
Please is there anyway i can install a larger mouse pointer and thanks for any help
In MATE, you may be able to get what you are looking for by going to System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Appearance (or by clicking on "Appearance" in the Control center).
Then click on the "Customize..." button at the bottom of the "Theme" tab. Then to the "Pointer" tab, then I believe you are going to find what to do easily.
If you are using Trisquel Mini (and LXDE), you will need to edit the desktop.conf file instead. The path should be similar to /home/noba/.config/lxsession/Trisquel-mini/desktop.conf, and the file should look like this one. Open it with Mousepad and look for this key nearby the end of the file: iGtk/CursorThemeSize. Then set it to a higher value that fits your needs and save. You will need to log off and back in for the change to be visible.
It worked for me on a Trisquel Mini 10.0.1 live session.
Thank for the help as it happens i am using LXDE mini and it works fine allthough i could not get to the config file at first but i found if i do CTRL+H i get to the config that way

Oh yes, sorry about that. I believe you can also type a path in the address bar in PCManFM, that way you do not need to switch "show hidden" on and off.
