I found the best colours for text for me are blue/green text on a dark grey background.. Unfortunately when I mouse over the background my mouse cursor changes to an i-beam which is the same colour as the background! (I can still see the cursor). Is there any way to change the colour of the I beam in the app or maybe in my Windows theme?

No I can see the flashing cursor and that changes the color. Its the thing that replaces the arrow on my mouse position that looks a capital I that disappears...

Ah! Yes, this is a Windows appearance/theme issue.
Go to Control panel -> Mouse -> Pointers. You have a number of available cursor sets called models. You can change your model.
Additionally, cursor files are in C:\WINNT\Cursors (may vary depending on OS version), and are basically icon files, which can be edited using an icon editor. Back up original fle and create yur own variation, preferably to be saved as a new model.

Note: this works under WinXP Pro, I don' t know about Vista/Win7

I've changed my cursor to some massive ugly thing but at least I can see it now. I thnk the app could try and be clever and re-colour my cursor but hey ho.
Many thanks

That's the windows cursor, you'd have to change the settings in control panel if I'm not mistaken
That, or change the background from black to dark gray or something
