Hogwash. M-: (frame-parameters) doesn't mention anything about cursor colors. By the way, please add to the above docstring that one can use M-x list-colors-display to see a choice of colors. (No, I don't want to use the "Easy Customization Interface".) Also in Info, do mention set-cursor-color and list-colors-display on "19.15 Displaying the Cursor". Wait, I did (set-cursor-color "black") and (set-cursor-color "DarkRed") but now the character underneath isn't bright enough. So mention that one also needs to adjust the color or the character underneath and how to do that, in the above docstring. Yes, one could use M-x customize but M-x customize is not necessarily enjoyable to use for every user. Yes, the contrast looked great in the list-colors-display "showroom", but when one uses set-cursor-color, the underlying character is not thus adjusted. OK, now we are stuck with an ugly cursor, and M-x set-cursor-color won't take nil for an answer to at least give us back the default cursor color, whatever that was.
