Stephen Gildea's Message gives the "completest answer": From: Stephen Gildea <gildea@expo.lcs.mit.edu> Organization: X Consortium, MIT Laboratory for Computer Science Date: Wed, 03 Apr 91 15:36:41 EST Changing the mouse cursor color on a color screen works for me. However, you do have to move the mouse out of the window and back to get the change to take effect (due to a bug in the R4 sample server). >> Looking at the Emacs source, I see that it doesn't allow you to change ~~~~~~~~~~~ >> the mouse cursor color on a b&w screen. I'd call this a bug, since ~~~ >> you *can* change the foreground, background, and text cursor color on >> a b&w screen. ---- Thank you, Stephen! Yes, it works on color screen once you reenter your window. But the b&w does not work. Now, this is really what I would like the fix for: I (and many others !) have only b&w screens AND prefer to have black background, white foreground. For us, it would be much better to have a white mouse pointer instead of the black (with white outline) that is only visible if you move it fast enough. Martin
