Very small Cursor in Fluxbox

My move to make Slint my main box is completed.
I really love it. :D

There is a small problem so. In fluxbox my main desktop
the cursor is so small that sometimes i have a hard time finding it. :(
Settings in other desktops like xfce4 or kde will not change the
cursor setting in fluxbox.

Is there any way to change the cursor size to a larger one in fluxbox?

The easy way is to run lxappearence to change cursor theme.
Same can be done by hand editing ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and change gtk-cursor-theme-name=

Thanks djemos!

Had to install lxappearance first. Then using it I could manipulate the cursor. :)

There is no ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini .

Code: Select all

ls ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini 
ls: cannot access '/home/heisspf/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini': No such file or directory

Well, lxappearance is not installed by default in Slint 14.2, but will in Slint 14.2.1. And the settings done in lxappearance are then indeed stored in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, I just checked.

But other than that we don't provide default theme settings for $HOME, like in /etc/skel.
