How to Change Your Mouse Cursor Color

Are you tired of using the same old black and white mouse cursor? Do you want to make it more visible or personalize its look? If so, you're in luck because changing your mouse cursor color on a Mac is easier than you think.

There are two main reasons why you might want to change the color of your mouse pointer: for esthetic reasons, such as adding some color to your screen, and for accessibility reasons, if you have difficulty seeing your mouse or trackpad pointer.

To get started, click the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen and select System Preferences. From there, click on the Pointer tab and you'll see two options: 'Pointer outline color' and 'Pointer fill color.' The former refers to the outline of the cursor, while the latter refers to its fill color.

Clicking on either of these options will open a color palette window where you can choose from millions of colors. You can select any color you like, whether it's a bright red or a soft blue. As you make your selection, you'll see the cursor color change in real-time.

If you're looking to increase the contrast between the elements on your screen, you may want to try using a high contrast theme. To do this, go to Settings > Accessibility > Contrast themes and select one of the options from the dropdown menu. You can also adjust the scale of your screen by going to Settings > System > Display and changing the Scale drop-down menu.

Once you've changed the color of your cursor, you may want to consider increasing its size as well. To do this, go to Settings > Accessibility > Text size and use the slider to make just the text on your screen larger.

In conclusion, changing the color of your mouse cursor on a Mac is a simple process that can be done in just a few clicks. Whether you're looking to add some personality to your screen or improve its accessibility, this feature is definitely worth exploring.
