Now I have machines running Fedora (17 & 18) and Puppy (5.0) -- and even with eyes on two panels I have an awful time spotting the mouse cursor. Can anyone tell me a way to get my arrow back??
Not sure how to change arrows, but if you're using gnome-shell, you can install gnome-tweak-tool and under the mouse settings, you can set the cursor to highlight with a ripple effect when you press the control key.
I've been looking for that. I used to use it and also two pair of eyes (bottom and left panels) under Gnome 2, but I haven't managed to find either.
I also have gnome-tweak-tool -- which gives me a screenful or two of error messages when I invoke it, but mine seems not to have any idea that there is such a thing as a mouse. :-{
I see the image of a two-handled mug with mouse, calculator, gnome foot, etc., and a pair of eyes looking up at them. but I can't find any mouse settings under any of the rubrics.
It's nice when the mouse is in a corner or the cursor is a vertical bar, and maybe helpful in your case as well.
It was, yes, decidedly -- when I once got to it. So were the panel eyes: they track the cursor, and with two pair you can navigate by the seat of your pants to the intersection, and usually spot the cursor there.
