Black cursor in Apple Notes dark mode

The cursor color is based on the Highlight color in System Settings > Appearance. In my case, Green.

In Apple Notes the cursor has unfortunately again turned dark in dark mode. Dark on dark is really difficult to see so please make the cursor light again!

How to change the colour of the mouse pointer in macOS 14 Sonoma

1. Open System Settings.
2. Open the Accessibility settings.
3. Find the Display settings.
4. Change the colour of the pointer outline.
5. Change the colour of the pointer fill.
6. Revert to the original pointer colour.
7. Close System Settings.

I found the solution. The color of the cursor (not the mouse pointer) in fx Notes and all other text fields as well is set under System Preferences -> General -> Highlight color.

You found the solution I posted at 5:21 am this morning? lol Good job. 😎

FWIW, the mouse pointer is not the cursor.

Just to add, if you found it in "System Preferences -> General -> Highlight color" then you aren't running Sonoma which is where you posted.

If so, it would be macOS 12 Monterey and below

But some people still use Preferences vs System Settings

Errors do occur though

Except in Monterey and below the cursor color doesn't change. It's white in dark mode and black in light mode.

Yes.. It's exactly where I said it was in my first post to you. 😎

Just to add, you should update to Sonoma 14.1.
