Twilight Theme, anyone?

Hi

I was introducing a friend to the FPC/Laz world. Being a heavy user of
Sublime Text, he wanted a dark theme for his IDE editor... "No
problem, Lazarus can do anything", I said.  I am not sure whether it
is a bug or not... When I choose the Twilight theme for my IDE (oh
yeah, I like dark colors)...

Tools -> Options
   Editor -> Display -> Colors -> Twilight

... the caret (vertical insert bar) becomes invisible when the mouse
hovers over the IDE editor. I've looked at other IDEs like Sublime
Text; the caret changes to White (or is it black with a white
outline?) when placed over a black background (and vise versa).

So... Is this a problem with the color scheme configuration, or a
problem with the Laz IDE (SynEdit)?

I had some problems with Classic theme a few weeks back. Some newer
colour options were not defined for this theme.

I configured the colours manually (there are many!), and sent in a
patch, which was later added to Lazarus.

I suggest to do the same (try if you can fix it in configuration, and
if successful send in a patch/your modified colorconfig)

@marcov...

What options did  you change exactly. I have tried messing with the
different options in the <LazDir>/ide/ColorTwilight.xml file with no
success.
