My memory is not what it was!
I have a vague recollection that I may have posted sometime in the past
about mouse pointer cursors sizes with a solution that worked for me to get
a larger size.
It looks as if I am going to have to do a Ubuntu re-install and whilst I
can ensure my $HOME is backed up - I am fairly certain my mouse pointer
large size was changed somewhere outside of $HOME but for the life of me I
can't remember where and my attempts to find it have failed. I simply want
to be able to have my same cursor size when I re-install ( I have very low
vision )
The archives do not lend themselves to searching the whole lists by subject
or author - I can't even recall which year it was! Anyone help or give me
a few hints.
(BTW only my solution ever worked - all the others mentioned around the net
never worked - my solution was an updated one from a previous ubuntu
version - mine is 16.04 LTS)
At a guess, do you think this might be relevant?

That suggests you used unity-tweak-tool to increase the mouse pointer
size, but does not indicate that a solution was found to the bug you
reported. However, there are documented ways to change mouse font in
Ubuntu, and there is a package called big-cursor in the repository,
which from its description includes larger pointers.
