I'm using a dark color scheme (black background) and the I-beam provided by the system, which is a black I-beam with some transparency around it, is nearly impossible to see. I've tried: (set-mouse-color "white") and (setq default-frame-alist '((mouse-color . "white"))) and (set-face-background 'mouse "white") all of which indicate that they should set the mouse pointer color, but to no avail. Thanks for the help, Joe
