That depends on your window system *and* on your terminal. For X and xterm, respectively, there is an X resource, pointerColor, you can set. E.g. put this in your ~/.Xresources (make sure it is loaded by your X setup): xterm*pointerColor: green If you want it to take effect right away, issue "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" or equivalent. Note that it will only affect newly started xterms. Xterm has also one start option to set that resource for the invoked instance. Try: xterm -ms goldenrod It's all in the xterm man page. For other terminals, or for non-X windowing systems... sorry, no clue. Cheers -- t
