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 -- William Morris GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of = 2011-12-13 on bob.porkrind.org=
