I just today found out that my secondary monitor horks up my cursor if I let the hardware do it, and apparently it’s a long-known issue! LOL So I have been messing with cursor stuff all day - and learning some details along the way. I’m wondering if the same solution wouldn’t work on a Mac?īut the real reason I’m replying is to ask a question regarding the “single cursor that is system wide” thing. I also use Komodo’s feature to turn the text cursor into a very bright block instead of a line.

My solution has been to use a custom set of cursors I whipped up with Photoshop on a system wide basis, so my insert caret is fairly large and mostly whitish - works great on any background. That said, I’m wondering if the OP still has issues and if this is an OSX vs Windows problem. I’m always shocked by download counts for themes/etc for programmer-targeted software that are massively high contrast! I stay more in the SolarizedDark world. Apparently I’m part of that shrinking population of programmers who can only work with dark(ish) color palettes especially the background. Tip: As you may already know, the option that allows to prevent Windows themes from changing mouse cursors has been removed from the classic Mouse Properties dialog in Windows 10. However, the ability to activate this function is still present in Windows 10 and can be activated with a Registry tweak.I’ve had this issue as well with several apps not just Komodo but Eclipse and even Visual Studio(2017).
