Default theme provides insufficient contrast in bright environments

[benbalter]

Specifically when editing markdown in a bright environment, such as outside, or when the screen brightness isn't super high, it's hard to see markdown link sources (the part in the ()s) as they're so close to the background color at that light.

Same goes for the cursor... generally find myself moving it around a lot just to find it when it's on a big block of full-column text like markdown.

I use editor with black background theme.
I lose mouse cursor.
...
FYI
Sublime text use white cursor

same here, losing my mouse... would be nice having white colored mouse with dark themes.
