I had been having a lot of trouble locating the mouse pointer I was currently using on my desktop, but had not yet got down to the hassle of going onto the KDE eye-candy page and finding myself a new theme. I have succeeded that way, and knew that I could do it - but it is a hassle. Then you sent this email. I downloaded and installed this package immediately, then went into KControl to look at it. (On this box I am still on 3.5.13.2. I know that I should upgrade, but there is never a good moment.) My first impression was that they were ugly. My second that I should at least try - and red was available. I find red stands out well. (Except against black.) So I switched to Large Red. I don't like the shape. It isn't pretty. But I haven't lost the mouse pointer a single time since I switched. I am just so grateful, Slávek. Who cares if my mouse pointer is pretty??? I CAN SEE IT!!!!! And there is still extra large available, should I need it. Thank you so much. And now that I have got used to it, the matching cursor is great too. Again, clearly visible. The red balls at either end really stand out. Lisi
