paxdirector.blogg.se - Change cursor color on a mac

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. If the change doesn't take effect immediately (or after clicking around) then simply close Terminal app completely (CMD + Q) and then reopen Terminal.I’ve had this issue as well with several apps not just Komodo but Eclipse and even Visual Studio(2017). cp /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/Resources/ShadowedIBeam.tiff ~/DocumentsĬopy the newly created Cursor file to the specified location, this step will overwrite the file inside the Terminal.app sudo cp ShadowedIBeam.tiff /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app/Contents/Resources/įinally set the flag for Terminal.app to use a custom cursor defaults write UseCustomIBeamCursor -bool YES.

BEFORE YOU OVERWRITE THE ORIGINAL make a copy of it and also put this in your documents folder -> name it.

Click on "File" and then "Export" -> export as "TIFF" file, save this copy in your documents and name it correctly ShadowedIBeam.tiff.

Click on the "Colors" menu tab at the top of the screen and then click "Invert".

Pick one of the layers to keep (big or small depending on what you want) delete the other layer.

Do NOT change the RGB color profile, click "keep".

On Import Pop-Up, click "Select All" and open as "Layers -> now "import".

Click "open" in GIMP, Import from TIFF screen pops up.

You can use GIMP to edit if desired (did this successfully).

Edit the cursor tiff image inside the Terminal App with for example Image editor (freeware) Terminal.app/Contents/Resources/ShadowedIBeam.tiffĪnd then run defaults write UseCustomIBeamCursor -bool YES
