Angry Cursor Size In Mandrake 10

Hi,
My default mouse is small and red, making it difficult to see on the background of Konsole, which is black (just an example, there are other apps where it is difficult to see). Where do I change the mouse pointer color+size?
I'm using KDE on Mandrake 10.0 .

I went to - the star,system,configure,kde,,periphials,mouse but didn't find any option in there.

Please help me. Thanks

go back into that control pnael and look for cursor theme under mouse, if thats not there, log in a terminal as root and navigate to: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme and edit it, that path might not be exactly the same as yours but its close, change Inherit=core to Inherit=<cursor them you want>, not sure what options are available, but Im looking at the moment
