Hello.
I am using Trisquel MATE.
I'd like to increase the size of the mouse pointer slightly.
If you know how to change the size of the mouse pointer, please give me a professor.

Try that command in a terminal:
$ dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/cursor-size 32
32 is the size. You can set it to another value.

Thanks a lot Magic Banana.

I executed the following command on the terminal.
# dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/cursor-size 44

However, I could not increase the size of the mouse pointer.
Is there any mistake I made?

On GNOME Shell, that command *partially* works: on some regions of the interface (like the title bar of a window), the cursor remains small. For MATE, it may not work at all but I think I found the proper key:
$ dconf write /org/mate/desktop/peripherals/mouse/cursor-size 32

That one works nicely. Thanks. Under "Other" in the Main Menu, there's a graphical dconf Editor that can be used but the CLI is faster.

It should be possible to increase the size of the mouse cursor graphically.

Right-click on the desktop --> Change Desktop Background --> Theme --> Trisquel --> Customize --> Pointer

Thanks a lot loldier.

I was able to change (magnify) the size of the mouse cursor.
Thank you very much.
