Re: [e-users] Mouse cursor size

[Φ S. Σ. Φ <sna...@gm...>]

If it doesn't help, have a look into MPX (multi-pointer x); xinput2 
allows for multiple mouse pointers and windows can define a cursor per 
device which can override the standard cursor.  On a single pointer 
system, where device cursors are set some windows/apps may override the 
standard KDE settings.


This old thread goes into more detail:
