Any color you like ;-)

The new option 'Use Windows theme for cursor' has a higher priority. In this case the actual color doesn't make a difference.

So I don't think it's a bug but the settings dialog could reflect the hierarchy of the settings a bit better.

Could you please give me step by step instructions to reproduce the error? Here is what I tried:
1. Configuration - Options - Colors
2. Change cursor color -> preview does not change
3. Uncheck "Use windows theme for cursor" -> preview changes
4. Click OK -> Cursor has changed color

OK, found it - it's a 64-bit problem, the 32-bit version works correctly.

The problem occurs if you have several View modes with different colors - If you click on the name for a new View then the colors are not updated, but remains the same as for the previous View. But you can actually make the color change to what it is set to if you hoover the mouse over the color fields.

I think we had kind of the same problem with the normal color setting dialog - way back.2Lefteous

Can you give me instructions to reproduce? Here it IS fixed in beta 2:
1. Windows themed cursor is off
2. Configuration - Options - Color
3. Change cursor color
4. OK

-> Color is changed, also in 64-bit.

1. Make 2 different View modes: Blue and Green
2. For the Blue mode set Tab color, Background color and Background 2 color to Blue.
3. For the Green mode set Tab color, Background color and Background 2 color to Green.
4. Exit the View modes dialog and enter it again.
5. Click on the Blue mode - all 3 colors are blue - then click on the Green mode - all 3 colors are still blue.
6. Hover the mouse over the color fields - now they change to green.

Only in 64bit TC. testet with clean ini file.
