Cursor color in macOS app

Is it possible to change the cursor color in the macOS desktop app? I exclusively use Dark Mode because I have light sensitivity, and the blue color makes it very hard to see. It it could be white or black or even just a color selector, that would be perfect. Really, though, it just needs to contrast a lot better than medium dark blue on very dark gray.

Thanks!

That’s an OS-level thing. You can change the global Highlight color in the Appearance settings. Here’s how it looks when I set it to white:

If you’re comfortable in Terminal, you could also set the Highlight color for a specific app, like this:

defaults write blog.micro.mac AppleHighlightColor -string "1 1 1"

And remove the specific setting like this:

defaults delete blog.micro.mac AppleHighlightColor

I tried the terminal mod. It didn’t work. Good idea, though. Also, white isn’t a color option in the highlight options. Closest is gray. I set it to that, and it does work better than the default blue, though, so I’ll stick with that. Thanks, Sod :slight_smile:

You have to choose the option in the bottom of the list, Other, and then pick white or any other color you like.

After running the terminal command, you probably have to quit Micro.blog completely and start it up again.

Ah. Yes. Thanks! I actually quit M.b before applying the terminal command. Still no change. And M.b dynamically changes while running after making the changes in Settings, so good question on which it needs LOLZ. Much better now :slight_smile: :pray:
