thanks! By reading your example, I was able to deduce that the best way is
to put an extra line :
-cursor {xterm red white}
in multiedit.tcl, line 121 (SN 4.5.2 )
and of course, not to forget the "\" at the end of line 121 !
Best regards,
William

Take a peek at this post to see how it is done
for a plain old text widget.

You will have to figure out where to add it, I would
think that the following line in multiedit.tcl
(near line 90) would be a good place to start:
#create the text editor
text $editor \
Of course, the real fix would be to add a prefs option
for this color property.

Hello
Suppose that the text editable region has a black background. SN currently
displays the cursor in black also. That's pretty disapointing!
How can I ask SN to display it differently, for instance in a white (
inverse black ) color?
Where should I put the tcl command in the SN sources?
Regards,
William Gacquer

The stock answer is that cursor color should be controlled via the X
Windows resource database commands.
