The only thing that exist is an option to enlarge the pointer while using Beryl's inputzoom plugin, which means that it'll be enlarged(zoomed) as you zoom in, which I suppose doesn't really cover what you need. I'm working on Compiz' zoom plugin over the summer as a Google summer of code project, and I'll need to enlarge the mouse pointer here too. Since I'm already doing that, it shouldn't be a problem to add a factor to enlarge the mouse pointer when zoomed out too. Though the correct approach would probably be increasing the size of the original pointer. What are your use cases for this? Temporary enlarging it, or more permanently, for instance? There has long been talk about making Compiz (and Beryl) render the pointer it self through the compiz core, so there will probably be some more general work in this area too. > Thanks for any input.

Not much, since Beryl is merging with the Compiz community, but you'll probably see some accessibility enhancement from former Beryl developers (like myself). -- Regards, Kristian -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
