Lightromm Classic - cursor too small

[andreasw5942258]

Hi everybody

• In LR classic the mouse cursor is very small. How can I change the size of the cursor?
  I have choosen a larger cursor in Windows 10, but this does not affect the cursor size in LR classic.
  
  
• I would like to make a LR classic tutorial for a specific item. How do I adapt the cursor that I'll get a cursor with a a blue or red circle around it (see attachment)
  
  

Thanks for your help

I don't believe you will find anything like that built into Windows 10. However, if you do a web search on, "Windows cursor downloads" or something similar you will find hundreds of resources where you might find what you are looking for.

Thanks JimHess for the quick reply.
Yes, I knew that I can change cursors etc. etc. However I forgot to mention the the extremely small cursor is only on the "edit" page in the picture. If I move the mouse to the menus, I will get the normal size of the cursor.
Have you any idea how I can enlarge the cursor size while editing the picture??

Thanks for your help

Have you tried resetting preferences in Lightroom?

Your small cursor on the image window is very unusual. No answer, I am sorry. (What is monitor resolution?)

But FYI, two apps that I have found very useful in Windows when making presentations are-

SwordSoft Mousetrack-

Greenshot-

Easy sceenshots and a handy editor screen for adding boxes, lines, freehand drawing, to the screenclip (from the clipboard)

Some utilities that capture screen recording have options for highlighting the cursor when you move or click it. For example, on Mac, the Quick Time Player screen recording makes the cursor look like this when you click:

I think if you search for such utilities, you'll find some with more options than that.

Thanks for everybody helping me to solve the problem.

@John Waller: Resetting the preferences did not help.

But I think johnrellis might be right that - for the tutorial - the screen recording programme might help for this issue.

Best regards

Hi everybody
I found a solution for my problem!
As Windows user I downloaded from the Microsoft App Store the programme "MouseHighlight" and this does exactly what I want to do - it can be adapted very easy and can be activated when I have to use it for a tutorial.
