Chnging mouse pointer
I want my mouse pointer to be larger and with a blue interior.

Larger can be done in system settings, choose mouse and touchpad. It will not apply when hovering over many things though, such as browsers. In system settings you can go to themes to look for a mouse cursor to suit your needs, but it will also change your entire desktop appearance.
