See "CursorStyle" in fvwm(1).

BTW, if you use a shell in genuine xterm(1), then you can change
cursor colors/shape in Xresources...

  XTerm.VT100*foreground:  rgb:af/af/a0
  XTerm.VT100*background:  rgb:12/00/20
  XTerm.VT100*cursorColor:  darkorange1
  XTerm.VT100*pointerColor:  rgb:00/00/00
  XTerm.VT100*pointerColorBackground:  rgb:b0/b0/00


....Below is what i have for fvwm (cursor colors are set WRT dark
background colors)...
