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/

Are you aware of xmag?  I think it's available by default on all linux x systems - could be useful if you bind that to a hotkey. You can try it with whatever your run command is on your system by typing "xmag".  Most desktop environments have additional options with more advanced features, but

If it doesn't help, have a look into MPX (multi-pointer x); xinput2 allows for multiple mouse pointers and windows can define a cursor per device which can override the standard cursor.  On a single pointer system, where device cursors are set some windows/apps may override the standard KDE

Hi! thanks for the reply. I think this will not fix my issue. See, my problem is not QT (all kde apps seems to be honoring my size: 24), but rather E globally and (I think) some gtk apps. Also, to me it looks like E is not able to (or doesn't want to) be involved globally in defining a global

I seem to recall a similar issue on a system a while ago with QT and GTK apps not scaling the same - KDE uses QT.  Just a guess, but you could try adding the below 5 lines as environment variables - how to do that/location will depend on your setup, I think I edited /etc/environment export
