Change Pointer On Mac
How to Adjust The Cursor Speed in Mac Quick Tips By Damien – Posted on Mar 5, 2013 Mar 4, 2013 in Mac If you are using Mac and find that your cursor is moving too slowly when you press the Left/Right arrow button, here is how you can adjust the cursor moving speed. To change the cursor size in Mac OS X: Choose Apple, System Preferences, Universal Access. In the Mouse & Trackpad pane, use the slider at the bottom of the window to change the cursor size. Mar 29, 2019 - Mac OS X has a variety of accessibility features to help out its users. Mac OS X.11 El Capitan also introduced the ability to make the cursor temporarily larger when you shake the mouse back and forth. These instructions are for Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.10.

Not bad, I could only get the sample cape to work. I am looking for a big cursor for some games where the default one is near invisible.
I will keep my eye on it.
System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Display -> Cursor Size Slider..
Very cool. As far as I know the only app that lets you actually change the OS cursor since Apple switched to programmatically generated cursors.
Also I was very surprised to see that it lets you import old Mighty Mouse cursor files (Unsanity's long-dead cursor customization app.) I happened to have a couple around and they work, although they're bitmap-based and don't scale smoothly like the sample cursor…
It works awesome, even the Create new is very cool, a but to figure out the Sizing, but it works, unfortunately it quite impossible to find old Mighty Mouse Cursors, does anemone know a Page where 9 can find some?
thx
Perhaps I'm missing something but I couldn't find the app. Github has the Xcode project which I can't build since I don't have a paid Mac Developer Program. Where can I get the built app?

Tried submitting a hint, but the submit hint link yields:
Error 503 : Service Temporarily Unavailable
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I can't submit a hint, and crarko's email address isn't working?
Anyone else having issues?
Still broken..
I'm having trouble with the site as well. Those trying to reach me; the best bet may be to use the forums and send me a PM there.
I'll try to find out what's going on. I'd like to get the ball rolling on the Yosemite Public Beta.
Thanks,
