How to change the size and color of the pointer arrow.

The arrow is tiny and hard for me to see (as well as the vertical bar for selecting text). In other programs it is quite large. I have the LXQt cursor size set to 60. How can I increase the size for TB? How can I make it invert color so as to have good contrast always?

I'm not aware that is possible to set in the application. And if it can't be done in Firefox, then it can't be done in TB.

FWIW, I'm not finding any reports or requests for this in bugzilla.

Well. I wonder what to do. Take a look at the difference in the uploaded photos. When I move the cursor into Thunderbird it becomes tiny. In Firefox the cursor is slightly larger than on the desktop; it is much larger than in Thunderbird. I wonder why.

The mouse pointer may be customized in Windows to do what you are wanting. It is not a Thunderbird function

Not Windows. :) LXQt is a desktop environment in a linux environment - in this case the user is Lubuntu.

I'm asking some linux people why this might happen.

Geoffrey are you using a HiDPi monitor (screen resolution larger than 1920x1080)? If yes, you might need to tweak some GTK parameters since Thunderbird uses it to draw the UI. You can have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI#GDK_3_(GTK_3) for a reference. You can temporarily test it by starting Thunderbird from a terminal (e.g. `GDK_SCALE=2 GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.5 thunderbird`).

I have an external monitor (1680 x 1050) connected to my laptop (1920x1080). Using your code to launch from terminal gives me larger font and object scale - except for the cursor. Thanks for the suggestion though.
