 +Select your preferred mouse theme. It is wise to log out and log in after a mouse theme change, so all applications pick up the new cursors.

 +===== Device Properties =====
 +
 +The Synaptics and Wacom interface in the dialogs shows only the most important settings, but there are a lot more settings for input devices you can control. Xfsettingsd is capable of setting all sorts of device properties; however, you have to manually set them in the pointers xfconf channel which is not always easy.
 +
 +First you need to find the correct device using the ''xinput'' utility. When you run this command it will list the devices on your system.
