--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
The text cursor does toggle color in response Application Colors 'Document
background' set.  Easier to see the effect if the document background is
selected across the range of the Standard palette's gray scale.

It is not the size or shape of the text cursor (and do not think we need to
follow any os/DE settings cross platform).

Rather, issue is that the transition of text cursor's gray scale color against
background color does not auto-adjust well and you *can* end up with
"invisible" Grey cursor on Grey 'Document background' and similar low contrast
values around the gray-scale mid-range.

Suggests there should be a test of text cursor contrast against document
background for auto-adjust. 

Also in addition to contrast testing for automatic values, I would love to be
able to directly set the text cursor and pointer color as Application color
elements.
