Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing the insert pointer in text to make it more visible.

For Ubuntu Linux, and distributions based on Ubuntu, you need to the edit
the gtk-widgets.css file and change the value
for -GtkWidget-cursor-aspect-ratio:

I set the aspect ratio to 0.2 which

For more information check the following URL

If your gtk-widgets.css config file does not have an entry for
-GtkWidget-cursor-aspect-ratio:  you can add it below the -gtk-icon-style
parameter.  Don't forget to include the trailing semicolon.

My gtk-widgets.css file has a section for changing the caret-color, (which
apparently is what the developers are calling the Insert Cursor now), but
in my experiments with changing the parameters, Libreoffice has ignored
them.
