My wife had just switched from windows to the latest Mint (Cinnamon). The one thing she misses from windows is the mouse pointer. It animates so that it’s light coloured on dark objects and dark on light objects. It makes it easy for her to find.
Anyone know how to do this in Cinnamon?
Yeah, unfortunately there’s no inverse mouse cursor theme. I loved it on windows as well. What I’m using now is this “Hackneyed high contrast cursors” theme, the green one to be specific, and I absolutely love it.
Example.
I don’t actually know, but I assume mouse themes are universal? Or does KDE mouse themes now work with Cinnamon?
In KDE Plasma there's also a setting where you can shake your cursor to make it bigger, although I don't feel like I need it.
I read that there’s an extension for Cinnamon that does the same, although I also saw a bug report that it might be broken, idk. Worth a shot. Here’s how to enable it.
