Well that was easy enough

My old eyes have been having a hard time seeing the cursor on my laptop first thing in the morning. Seeing one Lotter help another with settings on her phone reminded me that I could go into my settings and fix my cursor. So I did. I made it a bit bigger, then colored it hot pink. I did not have to download any app or anything, this was just in the settings on my laptop. I am glad I did it. It does not change the cursor here where I am typing, but I did not need it to.When I submit, I will have the larger, pink cursor. I am glad it was an easy fix as it makes a better experience for me.

I may have to do that with my cursor on my laptop. It is hard for me to find sometimes. My problem sometimes is where to find what I need in settings. It takes me down the rabbit hole and I sometimes have to have my grandson come pull me out(help me).

I did a search for how to do it, because I do that too, but have no one here to help me. So you will go to settings and then there is a drop down. The cursor settings are under "accesibility". It makes a ton of difference for me.

I often do not try and just put up with the annoyance.

There are probably some other easy things I need to do at some point.

What a good idea. I sometimes have trouble finding my cursor but I can't find a way to change it.

So, I searched and learned that under settings you need to go to accesibility. Also, @DaddyEvil likes to help people if that does not work for you.

@JudyEv I switched my pointer out for one that changes color depending on the background so I CAN'T lose it anymore. I did that several years ago. You're always welcome.

I'm glad you realized you could make the cursor more obvious and it was something you knew how to do. (I would have explained how to do that if you didn't already know... You just have to say you need help. ) I don't mind helping people on myLot with problems if it's something I know how to do... People forget I can help them, though. *shrug*
