Wow, if this is pissed off, I'd _hate_ to see contented!  This is
praising me with faint damns ...

Unfortunately, no, not even in the latest incarnation.  Sorry.
I'd really really really _really_ *REALLY* wanted to make Stuart2.4
have all sorts of color/gray-setting knobs and bells and whistles,
but unfortunately I never got around to it.  Actually, I never got
around to rewriting the storage and display stuff, which would have
given me the color/gray-setting for free.

So, now it's passed off to Stuart2.5, which might be Stuart3.0,
and will most likely be out around Christmas-time.  Or at least in
time for NW Expo (should there be one, and I plan to attend).

:-(.  Unfortunately, not (well, not in my price range :-).  You
mention that you have the Emacs program - that's as close as you'll
get, for now.  If you're willing to spend real money, I believe
Communicae has a dark gray cursor.  Of course, it has its own set
of faults.  I'm not certain about MicroPhone II.

And in either case you'll then miss out on all the Stuart2.4 goodies.

Later,
