This needs to be actually set before the session starts, so adding Xcursor*size: 48
to /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common fixes it for me (48 here is the base size, 24, doubled). Alternatively, this could be solved by exporting: export XCURSOR_SIZE=48 somewhere in unity startup code. ** Tags added: highdpi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359211 Title: Mouse cursor tiny when hovering unity elements in high DPI mode Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On a high DPI screen (220 DPI) the mouse cursor is really tiny when hovering unity elements. There are various keys in dconf to change the cursor's scale factor or size. I've managed to change it in a way that it looks normal when inside application windows, but its still tiny when on unity elements. I think this should be set automatically by the scale factor setting in system settings.
