I’m talking about a windows feature that activity changes the cursor to be the inverse of the content underneath it. If content = black, then curosr = white. If content = white, then cursor = black.
It’s not so simple as downloading a curosr pack with different colored icons.
I searched the web and results are all just various forms with the feature requested, but no feature. One rumor floating around is Windows might have a patent on it or something, but I didn’t go digging for that info.
I feel like a patent would’ve run out by now. From what I’m finding online, US patents generally only last 15-20 years. They might’ve filed it in a different country, and yesterday I read of a media codec patent lasting 25 years in Brazil.
But yeah, I believe that feature was in there before 2000 already, and they didn’t innovate on it since, which might’ve allowed for a new or renewed patent.

I did not know this existed, this is amazing
I just changed my cursor color to gold.
This is the only cursor setting ive never used for very long because its so easy to lose. May i ask why you use it?
So much this
White cursor with a bold black outline is king IMO
It’s visible on everything!

It might also just be a pain to implement…
