Optimal Cursor Color

[Skoges]

Trying to figure out what works best. I often lose my cursor and I have it set to a redish color. Any suggestions?

I don't think it's a problem of color, it's too hard to notice it

I have the same thing. Even if I change to something bright, I lose it in bright backgrounds. Maybe if it flashed slightly, nothing too jarring, and slightly bigger. Or was bright and surrounded in black to stand out against bright backgrounds. I don't like the shape of it either.

I think it might depend on resolution you use, in case if it's 1920x1080 then both your character & cursor might be kind of small. I use the default colour by now (Red) but will swith to Green as I like it more. As there's big spectrum of different colours I think cursor might still be lost in some particular circumstances.

I've actually thought about posting the same topic.
Mine is red (default i think), and i lose it quite often as well.

i think for caves is a bright coursor the best.

It would be good if it had the ability to change to the inverted colour of what it pointed on.

Use the colour of your cursor to the colour your eye can see the clearest for me it's purple.

I use Yellow. I tend to lose it in sandy areas, but other than that, it sticks out like a sore thumb for me.

i changed mine to white, much easier to find and it matches the windows one that im used to.

making it a bit bigger would be a good option.

I think I might try white cursor as well - apart from maybe few instances you can spot it quite easy.

I went with red initially but switched to white due to losing it. It's all personal preference in the end but yeah.

Can someone figure out the optimal color for someone who is blue-purple + red-green colorblind?

I'd give orange a shot.

You could always find some mouse pointer files in the terraria forums and swap then for the in-game one. Works wonders.

I've been trying to figure this out as well. I've tried several colors, but none of them stand out in every situation. Even white doesn't work since my main base is in a snow biome. I currently have it set to a medium shade of blue, which works alright most of the time but can get lost occasionally at night.
