I've found a couple places that need the change.


In ~/.Xresources, add something like Xcursor.size: 16. This fixed many issues for me, but chromium still had a large cursor when I hovered over it. A quick change to gsettings fixed it: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 16.

Adminer is in the repos, so install it with:


apt install adminer


Copy the configuration to your available configs folder and enable it.


cp /etc/adminer/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/adminer.conf
