Bug Description

My Dad was blind and my eyes aren't too good. I can't find a large cursor anywhere for gnome shell, gnome fall back or unity, kde, xfce etc. Also the panels are all black I can change some to a lighter color but then the text is light too and I can't see it. I am pretty experienced with Ubuntu as I run 4 machines at home and 9 at our local library. In gnome 2 this and many other functions were easy. I know they have to modernize but why remove features and customizations? That should have been done first, then release the new interface. I have been trying distros and desktop window managers for weeks trying to get a new system with the functions of gnome classic and so far no luck. Gnome classic is OK but again many features are gone. I would really like to stay with Ubuntu but our seniors at the library have trouble with the black launchers, panels etc. White or light color and black text should be a basic feature available and easy to implement.
