Coursor invisible if background white

[Piotr Gałka]

I'm used to work with PCB with white background, and wonted to use KiCad in 'my' colours. When I've changed background colour to white the coursor is still visible, but when I try to place a line (in footprint editor) or place a track in PCB editor coursor disapears. I believe there is no place where I can set coursor colour.
The same problem is with Measure distance tool.

I think if coursor colour can't be set by user then not automatically adapting its colour to background (at least to two oposities - back and white) is a bug. This is not connected with any user interface change so I think can be done in V5.

The cursor and "Aux items" (measure tool) colours can be changed in the Items tab of the Layers Manager.

PcbNew - yes,
Footprint Editor - no.

[Michael Kavanagh (michaelkavanagh)]

Apologies, I didn't think to check the footprint editor.

[Piotr Gałka (piotrgalka)]

Me too - apologies, I didn't checked in PcbNew before writeing.
I was looking for setting only in Footprint editor, then in PcbNew I checked only if coursor disapears but didn't looked if I can set its color there.
