I'm using TextEdit to transcribe sections of 26 moleskine notebooks that I've filled up over the past 7 years. I changed the background to black and the text color to gray, which is great for the eyes except I cannot see the cursor. This makes it hard to edit, as you can imagine. When I use textwrangler or sublime the cursor blinks white..how do I extend these settings to textedit?
Thank you - first ever stackoverflow question :)
Unfortunately it looks like TextEdit does not allow configuring the color of the cursor.
Is there a way to change the cursor color in TextEdit?

This is what it looks like
The dark grey part behind every word, not the light grey selection boxes.
Does anybody have any idea what setting can actually get rid of it?
Thanks!
Figured it out.
Just put background color for all user-related items to automatic:
Whenever I type something in the Remix ONLINE IDE, the entire code flickers. What I mean is that say the keyword function is shown in blue color, now when I start typing that blue color will turn to white and then the blue very fast (flickering).
Had the same problem and couldn't find a reson. But if you reload the page it stops flickering.
When a file is opened within iTerm using vim, light white shadow overlays the entire screen making the text unreadable.
How can I get this fixed?
Open within iTerm:
Open in vim app:
It's related to the theme that you chose in iTerm2.
As alex said, feel free to play around with the iTerm2' color settings.
I have read the documentation for the Color Schemes. I realized all settings except invisibles and shadow (+shadowWidth). I can translate from English, but I do not see anywhere where the elements, the color of which changes settings. Does anyone could show me the screenshots, where there are elements which change color? Thanks.
From the unofficial documentation on color schemes, linked to in your question, we can see that invisibles is ignored, so changing it has no effect on the appearance of any elements in ST3. The tmTheme format is borrowed from a different text editor, to make it easier to use the same color scheme in different editors. So maybe it does something in other text editors, but not in ST. EDIT: support for invisibles has been added to ST in build 3149 - https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/1992.
The effect of the shadow setting can be seen below, it is the pink parts on the far sides:
It is only visible when the text in the document is wider than the window - it will appear on the left when the view can be scrolled to the left and it will appear on the right when the view can be scrolled to the right.
From my testing, including shadowWidth in the tmTheme file will cause the shadow to not appear. I have logged an issue in the unofficial documentation here, maybe someone will update it with details of how to get this working.
Note:
When making changes to atmTheme file, it is often necessary to close all open documents, and restart Sublime Text, before the change will become visible.
How can I configure Sublime text 3 to show horizontal scrollbar always? It shows horizontal scrollbar only if the lines are too long.
I recently switched from Eclipse and it is kind of bothering me.
Note: I googled but could not find any solution so please don't close this as duplicate.
