I'm not aware of an existing theme that provides an I-bar that you describe, but, I found writing my own cursor theme (in my case to override just the pointer) relatively straightforward, so I would encourage you to try. The themes can inherit from others so you would only need to describe the I-ba

You might try the "chameleon-cursor-theme" package. There are several coloured cursors in that, hopefully one of theme is more visible. On 17/11/2024 15:40, Chris Green wrote: I'm running Debian 12 on two systems, on both of them I use large terminal (xfce4) windows quite extensively and I use
