--- Comment #4 from patrick.jan...@gmx.ch ---
I've played around with the cursor themes in a VM and I now have better
understand the technical aspects. Thanks for giving me the pointer to the use
of bitmaps, this obviously complicates things a lot.  This issue obviously
isn't a priority nor should it be but in respect to it being "*just this one*" 
feature that I want, I have to push back a bit. While I completely understand
the sentiment, the changing of the cursor size *and color* is the only
accessibility feature I personally know multiple people to use. (I don't
personally use it, but I was surprised when I saw plasma didn't have it.) Also
the fact that Windows, MacOS and ChromeOS have implemented this feature tells
me, that there is a somewhat common need for this feature. 
With the limitations of the XCursor spec the probably only feasible way to have
customize able cursor colors would be to ship a few preselected color schemes
as default. This would no be very elegant but would mostly solve the problem.
As an aside, Plasma (at least on Arch) already ships multiple color variations
of the Oxygen cursor theme. Therefore it doesn't seem to unreasonable to add
some high contrast versions of the Breeze theme. Maybe someone that would
actually use this could chime in to better articulate the need.
