It seems easy enough for people > to do that using modify-frame-parameters. There are other functions that use modify-frame-parameters like set-cursor-color, set-mouse-color, etc. And why not to add set-cursor-type too? The only difference is that there is a buffer-local variable cursor-type, but no cursor-color. > Do a lot of people really want to change this? This is an addition rather than a change. People might want to use it instead of (setq cursor-type ...). -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
