Re: Large Cursors

["D.J.J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea@arrl.net>]

None of the commands make a change.

How can I check to see if the default theme is installed?

I can't change to white - the cursor is now black.  I wanted to see if
that command worked, but that doesn't work either.

The size commands don't work and the color commands have no effect.

Thanks,
David
