Hi there
My eyes are going through a bad patch - need a little help.
Is there a way to thicken the vertical flashing cursor when e.g. inputting chords. Similar the cross/square selection thingummy. Can you change the thickness and/or color of these things?
I would also really like to change the color of the thick horizontal cursor when working in Speedy Entry. It's black on black - I've always had trouble with it.
Thank you so much for any input.

Have you tried turning off colors on your display and reversing black and white?

Hope you're under the care of a physician.

Does your computer have an "Ease of Access Center" in the Programs list? Check there.

Thanks N.
My trusty old Finale 2016 ignores the Ease of Access high contrast colour inversion, unfortunately.
Anyway, then you'd just have a white cursor on white manuscript - no improvement really.
What I want is a bright red cursor...!

The mouse cursor can be changed in the mouse settings in Windows. If you increase its size it also increases the black outline. You can select a cursor color too. I made mine blue. I don't think red is a choice though.
