Those changes persist in macOS High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Mavericks, and all other modern Mac releases since then. It seems that much of the confusion about this option, and the assumption by some that the option has been omitted completely, is because the slider moves away from the clearer mouse panel.įor some technicality, the high DPI cursor already arrived in Mac OS X 10.7.3, but it wasn’t until Mountain Lion that the control panels were toggled and renamed and the settings moved. If you’ve done this with other versions of Mac OS before, you’ll notice a few notable changes from the way Mac OS X 10.8+ differs from previous versions, the most obvious being ‘Accessibility’, which is the panel ‘Universal access’ used to be called, and, somewhat confusingly, the customization slider is now under the View menu instead of the Mouse & Trackpad tab. If you take a regular screenshot, the cursor will remain as the default size.
Second, you cannot take normal screenshots with traditional methods that display the larger cursor.
A few things to note about this: First, changing the cursor size does not affect the click focus, the point of the cursor remains the same.
