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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359211 Title: Mouse cursor tiny when hovering unity elements in high DPI mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1359211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
