Ah, you've got a yellow cursor on a white background. Isn't that
rather difficult to see in the first place?
Clearly a matter of personal preference though, hence I'll implement
the following: compare the cursor colour to the foreground and
background colours and set the cursor text colour to the one that's
further away. So in this case the foreground colour would be used as
the cursor text colour.
