Hi,

I often have problems finding the cursor in the IDE. In insert-mode it is just a slowly blinking underscore in the same colour as the rest.
Can I modify the appearance of the cursor?

Thanks,

Arjan

Yes, it is a problem.

I often have problems finding the cursor in the IDE.

I stopped using IDE after acquiring LCD monitor because of this "feature".

It does not use lines longer than 132 symbols even when started in console mode with such dimensions (WinXP-sp2, FPC 2.0.4rc2, I like using 160 symbols wide lines).

And it's CYGWIN dependency makes me make some efforts to make freshly compiled 2.1.x IDE run (so I avoid it).
