Am using Trisquel Mini 9.0 and would like the mouse cursor to be bigger because size 24 is way too small.

Used the following command, then rebooted

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 34

The new size is not taking effect visually, although the following command returns 34

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size

The option does not seem to be available in LXDE, at least not in the version coming with Trisquel 9, or I have missed it.

You might want to install new themes, like the chameleon-cursor-theme package, where each cursor theme comes in Small/Regular/Large versions: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/999948.

New themes should then be available in "Customize Look and Feel" (or Alt+F2 + lxappearance) under the Mouse Cursor tab.

Thank so very much, that's what I've done, and got a bigger cursor.
