Yes. I get a nice big red cursor for most of my windows, except
xfce4-terminal windows. But it's big and stands out nicely there.

Here's what I do:

apt install xcursor-themes galternatives

Then use galternatives to update x-cursor-theme to point to
redglass.theme. Then "xfce4-mouse-settings &" or settings-> mouse and
touchpad-> theme to invoke redglass and set the cursor size to
something large like 36.
