Any way to change mouse cursor size?
I'm playing an ARPG and as is usually the problem with the genre the mouse cursor tends to just disappear into the ether with all the effects going off on the screen. I used to run YoloMouse on Windows, but it doesn't seem to work on Linux (at least not for me, doesn't detect any games).
Google AI result claims I can change it in Settings -> Accessibility -> Mouse Pointer (this tab doesn't exist for me), or to go into Mouse & Touchpad settings to change the size (no size options there). Any help would be appreciated.

kde or gnome?
On kde, system settings -> colors & themes -> cursor -> cursor size is on top
gnome has a similar setting but idk where it is
Thanks. I am using KDE, yes. Sadly it doesn't look like it transfers to the cursor in the game, though. Google says putting "XCURSOR_SIZE=60" in steam launch options should increase the size of the cursor in games (when launched via Steam), but that sadly doesn't seem to work, either.
Restart your PC and try again
Also don't use AI for linux gui advice, there are different DEs and AI won't understand the difference
Or append your DE (kde plasma) to your searches
Going to bed soon, will see tomorrow morning if restarting the PC works, and I think the launch option advice was from a reddit thread... Anyhoo, thanks for the help, will ping again tomorrow if restarting doesn't work
good night
Shut down the PC with jumbo size mouse from the colors & themese -> cursor settings, still jumbo size but it doesn't transfer to cursor size in games even after reboot, sadly
