I-Beam is too thin and does continuously blink. This makes my work uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
Who can help me to set it much much much thicker - better if sizable -, so that i can follow its movement throughout the document text?
If i can’t control where i Amici in the document, why should i need a I-Beam? So thin, this I-Beam doesn’t’ make sense.
Prease provide, at least as option.
Thanks

I raised this back in NWE. Part of the discussion turned into whether you call the thing a "caret" or "cursor" -- sigh! I don't care a damn either way -- I just want it thicker.
Can it be done or is the thickness ruled by the the fact that NWP uses the Apple Text Engine?
Two WPs with their own text engines do better. Papyrus offers three choices, thin, thick or I-beam -- thick is possibly a bit too thick; Neo Office doesn't offer any choice so far as I can see, but its caret is about the thickness of a letter line of a strongish screen font such as Verdana or Trebuchet -- which is pretty right for me.
NWE/P offers one positive -- you can change the colour of the caret. Preferences|Appearances|Options that immediately affect all documents|Customizable colors|Selection caret. Then you pick the colour.
I've changed mine to a strong plum colour -- that makes a bit of difference. If it were two or three times thicker, it would be great.
