Different color of cursor in Math and Text Modes

[Rodolfo Oviedo]

Hi Jean-Marc,
I think your idea is better than mine: changing the background color of the equation (or the specific part thereof if applicable) where the cursor is.
(For reference: Mi initial idea was to change the color of the cursor while in the math environment)
Thanks for your openness to suggestions!
Rodolfo

You are welcome. Please keep lyx-devel in copy, it is better to share our thoughts with everyone.

What is your setting (OS, screen) ? Do you have a HiDpi monitor ? Would it be better to have thicker corners?

Right, or we could change the background color to be more noticeable.
