There is almost an universal answer to those requests:

If the default settings work badly for some larger subset of users, the item 
in question can be made configurable and those users can be given the option to 
change the defaults to suit their needs.

... and while we're at it, it can be made into an easy hack :) (not entirely 
serious, but if anyone's interested ...)

Hi Mateusz,

your idea of having a different cursor will not work. LibreOffice aims
to be as close to the system theme as possible. And the cursor is part
of the OS definition. Keep in mind that other users may run a dark
theme with a bright cursor.
You should rather consider to use a lighter background color, and it
also helps visually when the borders are active. In case your goal is
to format text, as it looks in your screenshot, you could try to
insert a table in Writer. And Draw offers also a lot of DTP
opportunities:

Cheers,

[libreoffice-design] Not visible cursor in colored background

2016-04-19 Thread Mateusz Zasuwik
Hey

I have spreadsheet with many cells colored in green or red. They are basic
colors from default palette. The problem is that cursor in hardly visible
on green background.

Could it be stronger and more distinctive?
