Description stephen 2021-07-23 16:16:56 UTC
SUMMARY
The preview outline of the cursor is barely visible with greys and mid value colors. A color shift between black/white is recommendable. Even this version of Krita has this issue : v5.0.0 pre-alpha (git 48a5eb7).
Requesting for an update in a certain future.

> The cursor outline color is already configurable

I know it's configurable already. 
I said that the way it's configured however, impeaches its visibility to be clear with grays and mid value colors. Maybe I wasn't explicit enough.
The request is to make the cursor shift between black/white, without displaying any intermediate value depending on the pixels it hovers on. 
Think of it as a strict binary color shift : either it's black or it's white, and nothing more. 

USE CASE : 
The pixels it hovers on are gray or mid-value : the cursor intuitively changes to black/white instead of gray.
Initially, it would display black/white colors. If the pixels under it are black
or mid grey, or with mid value color, it should show either black/white color. Any color darker than perfect 50% gray, even to the slightest, will trigger full white color.
Any color lighter than perfect 50% gray, even to the slightest, will trigger full black color.
