line "I-bar" cursor thicker for visibility? #301

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I found mention of this in the mailing list from 2010 -- requesting the option 
(familiar from Word and others) to make the "I" cursor a bit thicker so it's 
easier to see.  I am using Mintty to cut and paste in the Cygwin window -- with 
what I get as defaults for the command prompt (green) and path (yellow); for 
those I need a darkish background, and haven't yet found a background color 
that makes those and the thin "I" cursor all easy to see at the same time.

This is an older-eyes/lower-contrast-vision problem.

Mintty respects the system-wide cursor width setting for the line cursor. This 
can be found in the Control Panel. In XP it's under "Accessibility Options" 
whereas on 7 it's under "Ease of Access -> Optimize Visual Display".
