Resize mouse pointer in Debian 8.0 jessie


Hi, I'm Anthony and this is my first post. Forgive me my crappy English as a Dutch guy :-)

Used Debian for some time. Now I've installed 8.0 and I miss the slider in theme customisation to make the cursor/pointer bigger.
I installed the DMZ cursor theme with Synaptec and it is in /usr/share/icons. Then I set that theme as cursor theme in 'advanced settings'.
With the dconf-editor, I changed the default 24 settinf to 48.
Also, in /usr/share/icons, I changed theme name in Default-index.file' to DMZ-White.
After reboot, nothing changed, still a too small mouse pointer!
Am I forgetting something? Please help me out, thanks in advance!
