  1. One immediate way is to use dconf to set cursor size at the command line:

    dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/interface/cursor-size 25

    A better way is usually to install and use the dconf-editor

    sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

dconf-editor   # brings up ui tool

    Navigate to: org/gnome/desktop/interface/cursor-size

    You will then be able to change the cursor size, e.g.
