Re: [e-users] Mouse cursor size

[Φ S. Σ. Φ <sna...@gm...>]

...oh, just seen Carsten has also replied :)  I'm no coder and really 
just guessing and trying to remember how I sorted it previously - he'll 
be best to advise, especially e-related and will probably understand 
what I linked better as well.


The 'export QT...' environment variables I mentioned sorted it when I 
slapped e16 onto an XFCE Debian system with a lot of customisation with 
GTK and QT apps and themes.  I wish I'd made better notes, but kept 
those 5 lines.


Best of luck ;)
