CURSOR THEME

My mother once complained that the cursor on her 40 inches Sony TV (connected to a PC) was a bit small for her eyes.

I know that there were cursor themes but had never bothered to look into and had used the default cursor of Debian/ Ubuntu for years. After some searching, I found one called Breeze, a series of beautiful cursor theme:

You can found it here:

It comes with various color patterns and sizes, for left hand and right hand:

To install a cursor theme in Openbox:

Download the theme package, decompress it into ~/.icon/ folder on your home directory.

Open lxappearance > Mouse cursor tab > find the set of Breeze cursor you desire > apply. You need to restart your system for the change to take effect globally (system wide), because cursor theme cannot be changed on the fly.
