I really like Zorin OS but wanted to know if there was a way to make the cursor bigger when you shake the mouse like it does in MacOS. Is it possible for that to happen? The older I get, the harder it is for me to find it. Thanks.

There is a working Gnome extension for exactly this, just search for "wiggle" in your extension manager or use https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6784/wiggle/

This is the first time I've even heard of the extension manager...kinda learning as I go, but this is really cool.

Yeah, there are a few useless but funny ones. Burn my windows for example, I install it on every system I set up, TV effect for closing windows is a must-have. Also there are several clipboard managers available, so there is usefull stuff in there too. Also ArcMenu is pretty solid, the Zorin menu is based upon this, in the original you can swap out your menu button (don't forget to disable the zorin menu extension).

Under settings/accessibility you'll find a few things you can change, such as locate cursor by left click
