Step 2: Click Ease of Access (Narrator, magnifier, high contrast). Step 1: Open the Settings app in Windows 10 by pressing Win + I keyboard shortcuts. Way 1: Change mouse pointer size and color via PC Settings Now in this post, I will show you three ways to change the mouse pointer size and color in Windows 10. If it is often difficult for you to find the mouse pointer on your computer screen, or if you are nearsighted, you would want to change the size and color of the mouse pointer to make the pointer stand out clearly on the screen, so that you can always find it easily. Windows default mouse pointer is regular white. PS: I just realized that it’s a moot point since Scintilla is open-source but Komodo-Edit isn’t (is it?).3 Ways to Change Size and Color of Mouse Pointer in Windows 10 Just wondering! It would be the type of challenge I would take up just for fun! LOL My question is - couldn’t scintilla be enhanced, and I don’t mean rewritten, I’m thinking it wouldn’t be such a huge undertaking, to present a software cursor that could be altered by the host app? I’m not a win32api expert by any stretch, but couldn’t we hook the mouse move event early enough in the startup and present whatever cursor the user wanted? The “single cursor controlled by the OS” thing doesn’t stop video games and lots of non-game apps from presenting their own cursors (which I hadn’t noticed until today). 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. I’ve had this issue as well with several apps not just Komodo but Eclipse and even Visual Studio(2017).
