Mouse pointer and Plus/Minus - Richie1027 - 04-02-2024

I saw an older post where there was no solution for this.  My mouse size as set by windows is fairly large, but GIMP resizes it on my proart 17" laptop screen to a very small size and I literally need to use a magnifier to see the +/- symbols when using various tools.

Wondering if any consideration has been given to allowing a resize for this?   I am using 2.10.36.

thank you

Have you tried setting it in Gimp's preferences. I think you can in input devices. Maybe if you check 'share tool and tool options between input devices' it will not change - you can change your pointer type there too

To ask for a change/addition to gimp you need to go to another site. Someone here will have the link to it.

I do not think there is any way at the moment. Larger cursor (and in one case smaller) has been requested from the Gimp devs in the past

From a couple of years ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5513 and still considered.

...so they are looking at it (even with a magnifying glass) It might come in with Gimp 3.0
From that bug report this one: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/8768

Send another bug report as a reminder.
