How can I change the mouse i-beam cursor in Xcode?

Question

I use a dark background when I code in xcode 5.0.2, and maybe I'm just getting old, but it's very difficult to see the cursor when I hover over text.

I tried a solution on this: Changing the i-beam mouse cursor in Xcode 4

but it did not have unfortunately.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

For me, this was in accordance with the post you referred to in the place:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DVTIbeamCursor.png

However, the problem was that the file was named as:

DVTl (lowercase "L"), not DVTI (uppercase "I").

Rebuild and you must be good.

Answer 4

Failed to get this to work in xcode 8. What I ended up with was just setting the background color in the editor to dark dark gray and not black (# 222222 or # 111111), and that helped.
