Increase the Size of the Mac Cursor

You can increase the size of the Mac OS X mouse and trackpad cursor by adjusting a setting in the Universal Access preference pane:

• From System Preferences, click on “Universal Access”
• Select the “Mouse & Trackpad” tab
• Near the bottom you’ll find “Cursor Size” with and adjustable slider, the screenshot demonstrates the cursor on it’s largest size
• Changes set and save automatically

This setting is intended for use with those with difficulty seeing the cursor, but it’s also a great feature to enable for young kids. Combine this tip with increasing the desktop icon size or even making Mac OS X look like iOS to further simplify the user interface.
