how do i make the cursor larger and darker?
The cursor and the display screen are the same color, with only a narrow line delineating the arrow. I spend too much time trying to find the cursor because it 'washes' in color with the display screen. Maybe it can be made larger, solid or different?

New second Screen Not working on a Serface laptop
Finally bought a new second screen. All plugged in with a HDMI to USB adapter. The screen flashes up with "No signal" and the sound on my laptop switches off. The Laptop doesn't detect another display. Can you help?
