Version: SVN (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux When I chose black as background color in chat windows, the cursor becomes invisible. Because the cursor appearently is always black. This makes it almost impossible to edit a message before posting. This could be fixed by measuring the light intensity/brightness of the background color. If it is below a certain threshold the cursor will instead be white. Another possible solution is to just make the cursor color (and style) configurable in the same dialog as the background color. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Set backgruond color of chat window to black Actual Results: Cursor dissappears Expected Results: Cursor should be white.
I have the opposite problem. Because I use a dark theme in KDE, if I select a light background color in the chat window, the caret becomes effectively invisible since it is the same color.
do you mean the blinking cursor as you type? in that case i can confirm this bug on KDE SC 4.6 i think blinking cursor colour should obey base font colour
I agree with Nelson Chan that the text cursor should be same color as font color. If this is made true for all text input fields, it will solve similar problems in other applications as well.

Actually, setting the background color is not required. https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/120798/
