The default pointers of gnome are not very attractive and you soon get bored of them. However, the pointers in KDE are beautiful and provide the eye candy. Installing them in ubuntu is quite simple. Simply open the terminal and enter this command:

$ sudo apt-get install oxygen-cursor-theme

This will install the white cursors.

For installing a range of colors, enter this command afterwards:

$ sudo apt-get install oxygen-cursor-theme-extra

These commands will download and isntall the cursors for you. Then you can set these from:

System>Preferences>Appearance>Customize>Pointer

Enjoy the eyecandy!
