Yeah, I just thought I'd mention xmag as an accessibility side note, not for increasing pointer size - Carsten had already mentioned e has settings for scaling and pointer size so thought that was covered.  xmag does create a flashing box at the pointer so would help locate a /stationary/ pointer like the expanding disc you mentioned, however it's not the intended use case and I'm not sure you can easily exit the flashing square without creating the zoom snapshot first - exit the zoom with "Q".  KDE has a 'zoom screen into pointer' type feature which draws the eye in towards it's location.  I guess that pointer trails effect that makes you feel dizzy could actually be helpful for some people to keep track of a /moving/ pointer :)

The original poster of this thread was having problems with cursor size /consistency/ - pointer being set differently and enlarging under various conditions - perhaps e and kwin were both trying to set the root cursor.  Installing QT5ct and pointing the QT theming/config towards that can sometimes help get everything reading from the same page and disabling the QT auto screen scale factor may also help.  These things can be quite setup dependent and need tweaking locally.

Are you aware of xmag?
That does not seem to magnify just the mouse pointer (cursor).
in this case it's not useful for the pointer... :)
