i am not sure, but try uncommenting the entries correspond to mouse, from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

I read all the threads about this topic but i cannot success on them. For example i did

Code:

xsetroot -cursor b1 b2

But it did not work.

I have research about 1 px cursor but i could not change my cursors.

Note: I am working on twm and i have an idea about writing commands on xinitrc.

Thansk digiot -unclutter is the program I remember being mentioned not long ago. Since you supplied the link it only took about 2 minutes for me to have a Slack package ready, which can be downloaded here:
