Then, use the slider in the Cursor size: section to adjust the size of the mouse or trackpad cursor. On the left side, under General ( A), click the Display option.Select System Preferences from the Apple menu.At the top-left corner of the screen, click the Apple icon.However, you can try using third-party software, like Mousecape, to change the mouse cursor. Then, use the slider to adjust the cursor size ( B).Īpple removed the ability to change the mouse cursor on Mac computers with macOS. In the Ease of Access menu, on the left side, click Mouse pointer ( A).Select Ease of Access from the Settings menu.Press the Windows key, type Settings, and then press Enter.To resize the mouse cursor in Windows 10, follow the steps below. PS: I just realized that it’s a moot point since Scintilla is open-source but Komodo-Edit isn’t (is it?).If you change each cursor individually or modify a scheme with new cursors, we suggest saving your settings as a new scheme. Just wondering! It would be the type of challenge I would take up just for fun! LOL My question is - couldn’t scintilla be enhanced, and I don’t mean rewritten, I’m thinking it wouldn’t be such a huge undertaking, to present a software cursor that could be altered by the host app? I’m not a win32api expert by any stretch, but couldn’t we hook the mouse move event early enough in the startup and present whatever cursor the user wanted? The “single cursor controlled by the OS” thing doesn’t stop video games and lots of non-game apps from presenting their own cursors (which I hadn’t noticed until today). I just today found out that my secondary monitor horks up my cursor if I let the hardware do it, and apparently it’s a long-known issue! LOL So I have been messing with cursor stuff all day - and learning some details along the way. I’m wondering if the same solution wouldn’t work on a Mac?īut the real reason I’m replying is to ask a question regarding the “single cursor that is system wide” thing. I also use Komodo’s feature to turn the text cursor into a very bright block instead of a line. My solution has been to use a custom set of cursors I whipped up with Photoshop on a system wide basis, so my insert caret is fairly large and mostly whitish - works great on any background. That said, I’m wondering if the OP still has issues and if this is an OSX vs Windows problem. I’m always shocked by download counts for themes/etc for programmer-targeted software that are massively high contrast! I stay more in the SolarizedDark world.

Apparently I’m part of that shrinking population of programmers who can only work with dark(ish) color palettes especially the background. I’ve had this issue as well with several apps not just Komodo but Eclipse and even Visual Studio(2017).
