The current window has a solid cursor, the other window a hollow cursor. I now switch to one of my other x windows. Now both emacs cursors are hollow. What bugs me is that several different states are being represented by the same hollow cursor. E.g. if one's solid cursor is covered by another x window, good luck in guessing what state emacs is in from just looking at the remaining visible hollow cursors. Don't tell me to look elsewhere, I'm a cursor man. Please come up with different hollow cursors for each different condition a window might be in. Use your imagination, e.g. different colors, etc. whatever, just different. Not blink though. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
