Can we change the default mouse cursor highlight color

  • 772

If we enable mouse highlight

❯ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse locate-pointer true

on pressing and releasing Ctrl key the mouse cursor gets highlighted.

Can we change the highlight color ?

gnome-settings-daemon gsettings mouse-pointer 20.04

    Yes, It is possible.

    It is from the gnome-shell theme being used.

    The configuration depends on whether you use default shell-theme that came with fresh installation or are you using any custom shell theme.

    you need to look for below portion from the css file being used. Note that I have already changed the color to black in the below content.

    .ripple-pointer-location {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  border-radius: 25px;
  background-color: black;
  box-shadow: 0 0 2px 2px #629fea; }
