I know someone else besides me was complaining about often being unable
to see where the cursor was on the screen.  Since we can't change the
size, I went looking for another option.  And I found it, if you want to
edit your ACF/Arachne.cfg by hand:  The color of the mouse cursor can be
easily changed.  I offer the following, which I call "addto.acf"

--------------

; The color format for mouse cursor is expressed as two numbers, such as
; 15 10, which changes default cursor at white (15) to red (10) when the
; cursor is over an active area (html link, url, Arachne menu item, etc).
; Basic colors can be set using [O]ptions with white always being default
; for normal cursor, with white, yellow, and red as 'active' color.  If
; you select "No Highlight" the cursor will always be white.  However,
; if have trouble finding your cursor on the screen and want to try
; something other than white, you can hand edit Arachne.cfg, or your .acf
; of choice.  Colors from 0 (black) to 15 (white) can be used.  You can
; be original and mix cyan and magenta, or have a dark hue for normal
; and a bright hue for active (5 13 gives dark cyan for normal cursor
; with bright cyan for active.)  Colors above 15 may be used, but
; there's not much difference between them and lower numbered colors.
; Persons with monochrome monitors may want to try combinations with
; dark grey and light grey in addition to white and black.  Color
; numbers are:  0   black
;               1   dark blue
;               2   dark red
;               3   dark green
;               4   dark magenta
;               5   dark cyan
;               6   dark yellow
;               7   light grey [dark white]
;               8   dark grey
;               9   blue
;              10   red
;              11   green
;              12   magenta
;              13   cyan
;              14   yellow
;              15   white
; NOTE: Colors may differ depending upon video card & monitor used; no
; warranties, express or implied.  Use at your own risk.  Close cover
; before striking.  Items in the mirror are closer than they appear.  Use
; only under doctor's orders.  If not certain this is kosher, check with
; your local rabbi.  Papal dispensation may be required.  Protestors go
; the the end of the line.  Your milage may vary. Use only unleaded fuel.
