I usually use the black-on-white scheme, but this issue applies to a number of other color schemes as well.
The theme has:
background: #FFFFFF
foreground: #000000
When the cursor is over a non-blank character, both the cursor and the character are solid black.
I've worked around this by adding:
cursor: #B0B0B0
(and copying the file to $HOME/.termux/color.properties and running termux-reload-settings). This sets the cursor to light gray, which makes for a decent contrast with the foreground and background colors. (Perhaps there's a way to automate selecting the best color.)
More generally, the cursor color should contrast well with both the foreground and background colors.
More ambitiously, I suggest adding a cursortext field, specifying the color of text under the cursor. (PuTTY has a similar feature.) This would require changes in
This also applies to the dracula theme and it is especially noticable if you want to select/copy text. In the latter case, the selected text is just a single-colored block and you cannot read the text that you are selecting.
However, the fix that was suggested by @Keith-S-Thompson also works here.
