show cursor outline within the selected char, not ouside of it

This took me a while to realize and I was pretty confused.

Look at this:

I thought, "hey, there's a thin black line on the right to the cursor!" Then I switched one character to the right and

"Why the heck is the thin line now twice as thick???"

This outside border is quite distracting I think.

Solutions:

• display the border inside the current char
• make it much less visible

or

• subtly highlight the character without any border

Option 2 would be my favorite as there's only so few C64 colors that slight color changes do not affect the workflow, whereas a border is very close to the char set graphics and kinda gets in the way.

Option #1 is IMO not good because it will then overlap with the PETSCII char and this would be equally distracting as the mouse pointer on top of the char cursor.

Maybe an opacity 0.1 or so white or black (depending on char color/bg color) rectangle on top of the character without any border?

sounds good
