I have recently created an Ubuntu 12.04 partition on my Windows 7 laptop. When installing it, I switched to "high contrast" mode, which has rather large cursors (by large I mean about twice as large and thick as they should normally are).



Now I have successfully installed the partition, the large cursors have stuck around even after exiting this high contrast mode, but only when I am hovering over stuff e.g. hovering over text inputs, links, and when resizing windows. All of these cursors are too large. They cursor is only normally sized when the computer should be displaying the normal mouse pointer.



Does anyone know how I might go about fixing this?

I would suggest you update your cursor theme and cursor size.



First in a terminal type:



sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme


enter image description here



Choose the number of the theme you want - e.g. 0 for DMZ-White



Changing the value here requires a reboot - a logout and login will not suffice.



Secondly, using dconf-editor (install using sudo apt-get install dconf-tools)



enter image description here



navigate to org.gnome.desktop.interface



change the cursor size to 24 and cursor theme to DMZ-White
