Hi, I am running OpenSuSE 15.3 and 15.4 with the KDE/Plasma desktop. My eyes are not as good as they once were, and one of the things that bugs me a lot is the I bar cursor (also called the I beam cursor I think) Is there any way to get rid of it and substitute the regular arrow cursor for it? I don't see the I cursor very well and am constantly losing track of it, requiring lots of mouse movements before I find it again.
In the Settings > Appearance > Cursors there are a few different styles to choose from. Maybe one of those might help. Thanks James, yeah that is where I first went to, but most of the choices have the I bar cursor as part of their set of cursor shapes. I have been downloading and installing other cursor packages but so far no joy in finding one without or with a good substitute/alternate for the I bar cursor. The best one I have found, so far, is a package with large red cursors and the I bar cursor is not so easily lost. I would like to just get rid of the I bar cursor and use the regular arrow cursor instead. I also don't like the underline cursor, but at least I can make it blink, which helps.
