how to change color of vim cursor in Visual Studio 2010

Question

I have installed the Vim key bindings extension in Visual Studio 2010. I also have a color scheme setup with a dark background. This creates a problem since Vim key bindings extension has set my cursor to black, which is against a dark background .... not good. How can I change that cursor to a different color?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you are using VsVim then I had the same problem. Eventually worked out that I needed to change the VsVim Block Caret display item under Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Display items. I changed the foreground color to 'Gray' and the background color to 'White' (which seems back to front) but that looks good for me on a dark background.

Answer 2

for those who hit upon this question in future - You can change the block caret color settings in Tools > Options > VsVim > Defaults > Item Colors > Block Caret
