Cursor color no change at quick search

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

3) Choose another color for "cursor" than default, click apply

Actually this is fully intentional, so you notice that the quick search dialog is up! The only case where this isn't done is when using inverted cursor bar, because the chosen colors might not work with the default cursor.

Making cursor inverted is some of kind work around. I suffered of this default cursor color, because in case of some default color schemes, set on monitor while working on graphics templates, it might result in such relation gamma/brightness/contrast/temperature that it will finish in almost not visible cursor in that case(again if default color of cursor)

When using parameter the "Letter only", the color of the frame cursor changes. At other settings: "Letters - with search dialog", "Alt+Letters", "Ctrl+Alt+Letters" - does not change.

Could you add a parameter, which could change the color of the frame cursor by using the "Letters - with search dialog", "Alt+Letters", "Ctrl+Alt+Letters"?

The frame cursor color changes when there are selected files! This was recently added.
