Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

When I select the Light background, could the cursor color automatically change to a darker shade? Alternatively, could you provide an option to choose the cursor color? Otherwise, it is very difficult to see the cursor position when editing the body with the Light background.

Why should this be worked on?

To enhance the user experience for everyone

I researched a bit and got to know that here we need to change the color of I-beam and not the caret...which is actually controlled by OS itself...what shall I do ?
