Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Insertion point color/Pages

Was the insertion point in Pages always orange? I never noticed and it never bothered me, but after upgrading to Sonoma yesterday it's become something that I would very much like to change. I see many options (accessibility, etc) for changing the mouse pointer size and color, but that's not what I need here. I just want to change the color of this one feature in this particular app. If it's not currently possible, I hope this customization is made available in future versions.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.0

On Sonoma, the Insert point in Pages v13.2 assumes the color you have chosen for the Accent Color in System Settings : Appearance panel. Right now, mine is blue, but I changed to it red for amusement before making it blue again.


Apple's TextEdit application changes its insertion cursor color in the same manner, as does this community editor.
