Q: cursor color change in cygwin terminal

[Josifovski Ljubomir-BLJ01Z]

Does cygwin terminal support cursor color change? 
Specifically, I'd like to change the colour of the cursor while in vim.

This is my terminfo entry:

Is the terminfo entry the right place to look if the functionality is
supported?

Not with the precompiled vim package that setup installs for you.  It is
based on libtermcap (/etc/termcap) not libncurses (terminfo).  However,
if you compile vim yourself so that it links with libncurses, then yes.

Theoretically, yes.  However, it isn't necessarily correct.
