How do you change cursor color in model space

Anonymous
Not applicable

How do you change cursor color in model space.  I currently have model space background black, and the cursor box is black as well so can't be seen until it hovers over an object of a different color.  I would like to set it to yellow or red or white to make it visible.  Thanks for any advice.

Options->display tab there is a button on the left for colors

I'll see if I can find a screenshot

Thanks for the advice.  Crosshairs color won't change....I had been trying that.  I am able to change 2D background to a less dark grey so that the cursor shows up better.  Not sure why the cursor color won't change to what I am setting it to.

Can i get you to post 2 screenshots?  id like to see what you are describingwith your cross hairs, and id like to see your colors dialog box.

Another option you can try is in the bottom right corner of the status bar is an icon that looks like a blue speedometer. Right click on it and shut off hardware acceleration of it is on

Hi,

 

>> Crosshairs color won't change

There is more than just one crosshair color, have you changed all of them?

Hey Chris,

Not sure why but after changing the crosshair size of the cursor in options/display, and changing the background color back to black, the box in the center of the cursor which was black, turned to white......problem solved though I don't know exactly how or why. I did turn hardware acceleration off as you had suggested, and then back on again before changing the background color back to black.

Thanks Chris for your help.
