I am using the Windows build of cream/vim. I like to set my editor colors to a terminal style (black background, white/yellow foreground). However, when I do this with cream, the mouse text-pointer, which is black, disappears against the background. Does cream have the ability to control the color of the pointer to invert it against that background? Optionally, I would also be able to use it if the pointer did not switch to the "text bar", because my standard arrow is white. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. John |

No, mouse color is usually determined by the operating system. This is a good thing, it provides interface continuity across the environment, but it sounds like you may be using some kind of non-standard arrangement. On Windows, the default cursors have both black and white, so that there is always contrast no matter the background color. I usually spend half my day in CAD software with a black background, but can always see the white outline of the mouse. > Optionally, I would also be able to use it if the pointer did not > switch to the "text bar", because my standard arrow is white. We can't control this, Vim and Cream use whatever is specified by the environment. Do you use any other applications with a black background, and if so, how do they handle this better? -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ] :: Cream... usability for Vim :: http://cream.sourceforge.net |
