Bug ID: 155745
Summary: In Libre Writer make the 'typing cursor' and 'I bar'
more visible.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The 'typing cursor' and 'I bar' (what the mouse pointer changes into when you
move it over the document) are very faint and hard to see if you set your
background to anything other than white. This is especially annoying when you
set the Libre Writer to dark mode and have the background colour a shade of
grey. The reason I do this is because my main display is an OLED monitor and
it's a bad idea to have an OLED sit on white for hours on end as this will lead
to my monitor having pretty severe burn in over time.
All the solutions I have seen for this problem always tells people to just
alter the cursor settings in Windows settings. However for some reason this
does not work for libre writer, I change the cursor width and set up coloured
indicators on the cursor, but they do not show up or do anything for the cursor
in Libre Writer.
Actual Results:
Go to 'tools' then 'options' then 'application colours' and change 'document
background' to colour '#7B7B7B'.
Expected Results:
Changed document background colour to a darkish grey, then you should notice
the 'typing cursor' and 'I bar' are quite faint and hard to see.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Allow me to change the colour and size of both the 'typing cursor' and 'I bar'.
I'm using Windows 11 Pro.
