can't see text cursor [message #335938]

I'm using 3.5M7 on a Mac. I tune my preferences so that my backgrounds
are dark and my foregrounds are light - I don't like staring into a light
all day. It's a pain to change all the Eclipse preferences to make this
work, but I've done it.

Except that I can't find preferences that control the color of the text
cursor or the mouse cursor, so they disappear or are hard to see.

What can I do?

Please enter a bug report. (Immediately! Because we're in release
candidate mode and there is not much time left for bug fixes.)

More broadly, a plea to anyone using Eclipse: please give 3.5M7 a try, and
if you find a problem, report it immediately, with all the information
needed to reproduce the problem - especially if you're running on Mac with
the new Cocoa port. The window of opportunity to fix found bugs is
narrowing fast. The next release after 3.5 won't be until September or so.
