Transparent doe snot mean invisible... JMarc Strictly speaking true but it does mean fully transparent, at least in some design context, e.g. CSS: "The transparent keyword represents a fully transparent color. This makes the background behind the colored item completely visible. Technically, transparent is a shortcut for rgba(0,0,0,0)." (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value) But I guess Jason means semi-transparent or so. Anyway, I am still a fan of colour inversion. :) Daniel

As for the cursor blocking text, would a cursor that inverts the colors beneth it help? I suggested this and a patch a while back: https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10462 Daniel

This would not be very difficult, but some work has to be done for that. JMarc
