How to make cursor LARGER

I have a new 27inch, IPS, 2560x1440 resolution Monitor, and sometimes have a hard time seeing/locating the default Mouse (pointer) cursor.
I have looked at the various settings under Zorin 9.0, but haven't yet found anything applicable.
Is making the mouse cursor larger possible in Zorin 9.0?

Some solutions offered here:

The other things you can do are:

1. Install Comix Cursors using the search box in 'Synaptic Package Manager' (Menu | System Tools | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager). You will need to provide your login password to access synaptic package manager - it's a bit like 'Run as Administrator', as the password elevates you to 'root' to install packages.

2. Use Compiz Config Settings Manager and activate the element in 'Accessibility' that acts as a 'locator'. - See my accessibility video here:
