I don't often use XFCE, so have no meaningful familiarity with its own settings.
I use dmz-cursor-theme in Debian and elsewhere that offer it. It comes in
various
sizes, plus two colors, black and white.
On Debian I typically add
Xcursor.theme: DMZ-White
Xcursor.size: 32
to some file in /etc/X11/Xresources. 48 is about two+ rows tall on my 24"
1920x1200 screen @120DPI. White's I-beam is white in center, with border black,
like pointer.
