Just wondering! It would be the type of challenge I would take up just for fun! LOL
#Visual studio dark theme cursor is black software
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 use a color theme with a very dark background, which works great except that VS2010 uses the default insertion point mouse cursor when the mouse is over. 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.

I am trying the new Visual Studio 2012 dark theme. 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. Moreover, since the mouse pointer uses black color, this cursor set is ideal for people who love dark.

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. Sure, it was a little differenta slightly lighter hue than 000 and somewhat more muted text colors. Secondly the color palette we employ within the icons has been simplified and made much more consistent. The first is that the icons are generally much simpler or more symbolic in their form. That was the first version of Visual Studio that gave me a dark theme right out of the box. As a part of giving you a preview of the dark theme I want to call your attention to several important characteristics of the Visual Studio 11 iconography. I’ve had this issue as well with several apps not just Komodo but Eclipse and even Visual Studio(2017). Then, Visual Studio 2012 came out, completely reaffirming my life choices.
