Hi Copilot , could you please teach me or give me a step-by-step procedure how can i change the default mouse pointer of my UBUNTU 26.04 Laptop to a BIG MOUSE POINTER and at the same time the BIG MOUSE POINTER IS IN RED COLOR ? THANKS for the answer Copilot.
You can make your Ubuntu 26.04 laptop show a big red mouse pointer by installing a custom cursor theme (since Ubuntu controls cursor color through themes, not a simple color slider) and then adjusting its size using GNOME Tweaks or terminal commands.
Here’s a clear step-by-step guide:
Open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T).
Run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
This tool lets you change cursor themes and sizes easily.
Visit GNOME-Look.org (a popular site for Linux themes).
Search for red cursor themes (examples: “Red Glass Cursor”, “Big Red Cursor”).
Download the theme archive (.tar.gz or .zip).
Extract the folder and move it into:
~/.icons (for your user only)
or /usr/share/icons (system-wide).
mkdir -p ~/.icons
mv ~/Downloads/YourThemeFolder ~/.icons/
Launch GNOME Tweaks (search “Tweaks” in your app menu).
Go to Appearance → Cursor.
Select your new red cursor theme.
The cursor should immediately change color and style.
You can enlarge the pointer in two ways:
In Tweaks → Appearance, adjust Cursor Size (values like 32, 48, or 64 pixels).
Run:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 48
Replace 48 with any larger number (default is 24).
Cursor color is theme-based: Ubuntu doesn’t let you “paint” the default cursor red; you must install a theme that already has red graphics.
If the cursor doesn’t change after applying, log out and back in, or restart your laptop.
You can experiment with different red cursor themes until you find one that’s both large and high-contrast for visibility.
Would you like me to suggest a few specific red cursor themes that are popular and easy to install, so you don’t have to search manually?
Hi Copilot , after the installation of the gnome-tweaks software inside my UBUNTU 26.04 Laptop like you requested , i have already replaced the cursor to RED GLASS but my mouse cursor still remain in its default state which is BLACK IN COLOR and the default current size of the mouse pointer is still in its default state which is " 24 " by using the Linux command " gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size " ......... So Copilot , from here , how do i invoke the Linux command or what steps do i have to take in order to really replace my UBUNTU 26.04 LTS cursor to RED GLASS and at the same time MAKE IT BIGGER . Thanks Copilot for your answer.
Got it — you’ve installed GNOME Tweaks and placed the Red Glass cursor theme, but it’s still stuck on the default black pointer at size 24. That usually means Ubuntu hasn’t actually switched to the new theme yet, or the desktop environment isn’t picking it up. Let’s walk through the exact steps to make sure the cursor changes and enlarges:
Make sure the Red Glass theme folder is inside either:
~/.icons/RedGlass
or /usr/share/icons/RedGlass
Inside that folder, there should be a cursor directory with .png and .cursor files.
If the folder structure is wrong, GNOME won’t recognize it.
Run this in your terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme "RedGlass"
(Replace RedGlass with the exact folder name of your theme — it’s case-sensitive.)
Now enlarge it:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 48
You can try values like 48, 64, or even 96 depending on how big you want it.
Cursor changes don’t always apply instantly. Do one of these:
Log out and log back in.
Or reboot your laptop:
sudo reboot
Check what’s active:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-theme
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size
You should see "RedGlass" and your chosen size (e.g., 48).
Wrong folder name: If you typed "RedGlass" but the folder is "red-glass", it won’t work.
Theme not installed system-wide: If you put it only in ~/.icons, make sure permissions are correct. Sometimes /usr/share/icons works more reliably.
Wayland vs X11: On Wayland sessions, cursor themes can be stubborn. If it still doesn’t change, try switching to an X11 session at login.
Once you’ve done this, your cursor should finally appear big and red.
Do you want me to show you a couple of tested red cursor themes that are known to work smoothly on GNOME, in case “Red Glass” is giving compatibility issues?
