I would like to use SN4.5.2, but I can't see the cursor with the colour
scheme I'm using. My preferred colour scheme is BLACK background with mostly
green text.
I can't find any mechanism for changing the colour of the cursor which is
always BLACK, when it needs to be green or white etc.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Does this Tk code do what you want? Try running it
in the wish shell installed in the sn bin dir.
text .t
pack .t
.t configure -bg black -fg green
.t configure -insertbackground green
If that is what you wanted, then you will need
to either hack that "$text configure -insertbackground green"
bit into the source code or set the proper X resource
for it.
There is no preferences option for the text insert
cursor color, we really should add one. Anyone
feel like taking a stab at adding a preferences
option for the text insertion cursor?

You can change it using the .Xresource option database. I don't remember
what the entry for the cursor is, however.

Are you running the NT version of SN, or are you running a UNIX version
on another machine and using an NT XServer?

But your other applications must have problems with black cursors, too.
We have no control of the cursor color on NT.

My apologise for forgetting to mention that I'm using SN4.5.2 on an NT
workstation.

Does this Tk code do what you want? Try running it
in the wish shell installed in the sn bin dir.
text .t
pack .t
.t configure -bg black -fg green
.t configure -insertbackground green
If that is what you wanted, then you will need
to either hack that "$text configure -insertbackground green"
bit into the source code or set the proper X resource
for it.
There is no preferences option for the text insert
cursor color, we really should add one. Anyone
