Now, use the sliders to change the color. Possibilities are limitless. You will see significant color changes when you drag the slider named Saturation, Tint, and Sepia. Play with every slider you see to achieve your desired color. Once done, close the Adjust Color pop-up. Click Edit from the top and choose Select All. On your Mac, use the Mouse & Trackpad pane of Accessibility Pointer Control preferences to make your mouse and trackpad easier to use. The options available depend on the Mac you’re using. To change these preferences, choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Accessibility, click Pointer Control, then click Mouse & Trackpad. Hi, The ability to highlight mouse cursor and mouse clicks is helpful when you're making a video tutorial or a video to demonstrate a bug when doing software testing (e.g. To demonstrate clicking a button not doing anything). I don't think I see this feature in OBS Studio so may I suggest. To make your mouse pointer sold black, click on the Start Button to open Start.Next, click open Settings Ease of Access Mouse.You will see the settings which let you change the Pointer and Cursor size, thickness and the pointer and cursor colors.Here you can change the pointer and cursor size. You can also change the Pointer color.
Sometimes after writing some code in the terminal, I find it very hard to find my mouse pointer quickly because it is very invisible in the dark background. So I decide to find a good way to solve this problem.
Actually there is not very good post about the mouse pointer in Mac, that is why I write this blog post.
Change Mouse Pointer Color Mac Desktop
1. Change system mouse cursor size
OSX does not have options for changing the color of the mouse pointer, but you can change the size of if in System Preferences > Accessibility > Display to make the mouse pointer bigger.
2. Add something around the cursor
You can use some 3-party software such as Mouse locator to creates a green crosshair of sorts around the cursor making it easy to identify. I did not test this way but you can try as you like.

3. Change system mouse cursor image
I like github. I found an open source software called Mousecape in github here, which allows the customization of cursors for Mac OS X 10.8-10.10, you can use it to change the cursor of your mac quickly. If you do not want to create the icon by yourself, just use the default cape file in the source. It works great!
5. Why it still looks so bad in some application
After changing the mouse pointer by using Mousecape, I found the cursor looks still bad in iTerm2 app, then I realized that some app such as iTerm2 might use the image of its local file instead of global. Actually I got that somebody have the same problem since the mouse cursor is not invisible in darkground xcode.
Many people like set the iTerm2 background to dark, so if we change the image file used by iTerm2 to show the mouse cursor, then our problem can be fixed. Here we go
Download this cursor image to your mac
Enter the directory /Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/Resources
Rename the IBarCursor.tiff to IBarCursor.tiff.bak, IBarCursorXMR.tiff to IBarCursorXMR.tiff.bak
Put the downloaded image to this directory and rename it to IBarCursor.png and IBarCursorXMR.png
Now close iTerm2 and restart it, you can see the mouse in the app is more visible than before.
