Subject: Invisible mouse cursor with black background
Date: Mon, 7 May 2012 10:07:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DFB47E11-D154-444A-A3A2-CF9503C153C1@gmx.de> (raw)

I am using Emacs 23.3.1 on OS-X with the background set to black.

The mouse cursor when over text is a thin I-beam, perhaps two pixels wide, black and white.  Needless to say it is almost invisible and in bright ambient light, completely invisible.  How can I change the colour and/or shape of the pointer (preferably both)?

I had a similar problem on the terminal and was able to replace the I-beam resource file with one I created myself. I'm hoping something similar is possible for Emacs.

Thanks
