Public bug reported:
I've acquired a high-dpi display recently (ASUS PB287Q), and while the
monitor preferences to set GTK scaling works quite well, Unity makes no
attempt to similarly scale up the cursor, leaving me with a minuscule
cursor that is almost invisible.
As well, other tools such as unity-tweak-tool, which claim to be able to
set different cursor settings, also fail in unity.
Searching the web, it appears that this is a long standing problem,
which has been mostly ignored. However, given the very real need to
scale up cursor size with monitor DPI along with other UI elements, I'm
hoping we can see some investigation and traction on the issue now that
4k displays are starting to become more affordable and prevalent.
