Static cursor colors make vim really hard to use with a varied color scheme. Reverse video (actually just reversing fg/bg) cursor like xterm/gnome terminal is a lot easier to use.
Hi, I'm not an official iTerm dev but I hacked together an implementation of this feature for my own use and edification. The source code patch and a compiled copy of iTerm with it can be found here:
Let me know if this does what you had in mind. Under Preferences -> Window check "Reverse the cursor colors." This overrides whatever cursor colors are set in profile. This version of iTerm also includes the Option/Alt key fix for Snow Leopard that I posted elsewhere. Note that this compile probably won't work on 10.4 (Tiger.)
