No reply be the OP for more than six months. The cursor color can be changed by the "default" foreground color in the editor styles. Closing this bug.

But is it intended that you have chosen a color for the default style (first entry in the style panel in "editor styles"), which is nearly unreadable? IMHO, the default style has almost no effect except for indention guides, visible white spaces and the cursor.

Yes. My intention had been to make something similar to the colour schemes I use for my other code work. I prefer the high contrast and the bright colour-coding.

I've made the background darker and removed the highlight, so it's easier to see the cursor. Obviously, this isn't a pressing concern, but I thought it would be worth mentioning.

The cursor color is set to the default style color of the currently detected programming language. Is it intended that you have chosen this color for the default style?

I would like to be able to change the colour of the editor cursor because, well, see attached.
