Try pressing in the editor to see one. Thus, this is IMO not an option here (and would involve changing the underlying control). I truly believe your display needs help. However, there is also a lot of difference in human perception (let alone taste), that might also be involved here. Will check, if there are options to modify the cursor itself in any way without rewriting the control. Regards, Tim --- WinPoint 398.2 * Origin: Original WinPoint Origin! (2:240/1120.29) .
