Both are easy to do&#8230; and here&#8217;s how!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Customize the Mouse Pointer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">You can make the mouse pointer very small or very large &#8211; or any size in between by using the size slider. And you can make your mouse pointer any color you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">First, let&#8217;s open Ease of Access the easy way. Hold down the Windows Key and press the U key. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">On the Ease of Access page, click on Mouse pointer on the left. And you&#8217;ll see a slider that allows you to choose custom pointer sizes and an option that allows you to change the pointer color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/mpointer.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Windows 10 tips and tricks\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Once you click on the &#8220;rainbow&#8221; option (see above) Windows will display seven color boxes showing you preset pointer colors from which to choose. But if you don&#8217;t like any of those colors, just click the &#8220;Pick a custom pointer color&#8221; button and choose any color you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Customize the Text Cursor<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">On the same Settings page, you can change your text cursor&#8217;s size and thickness. And you can enable the text cursor indicator that can make your text cursor easier to find. If you have trouble seeing your cursor, you should turn on the text cursor indicator by turning on the switch under &#8220;Turn on text cursor indicator.&#8221;\u00a0 Once you&#8217;ve done that you can choose a text cursor indicator color. Choose from the preset colors or create your own custom color by clicking on the plus sign next to &#8220;Pick a custom color.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/tcursor.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Windows 10 tips and tricks\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Further down on the page, you&#8217;ll find a slider that lets you make your text cursor thicker and therefore easier to see. But, be careful with this, if you make your cursor too thick it will cover up letters and spaces in your text. So, user discretion with this setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/donate.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/donate2021-small.png\" alt=\"Please help us keep our small business going!\" width=\"446\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; How to Change Your Mouse Pointer and Text Cursor to Make Them Easier to See Did you know that Windows 10 lets you customize the mouse pointer size and color?\u00a0 And you can also change your text cursor color and thickness to make it easier to see.
