what i would really like is the possibility of setting the cursor to an arbitrary solarized color (e.g. "red") and have it switch correctly when i select the dark or...

one thing I have tried is doing a `customize-face` on the `cursor` face, but that fails: when Emacs restarts, it reloads the theme which overrides the face customization. That might...

well... a "low contrast ratio" beats "no contrast ratio at all" IMHO. i'd be happy to use a slightly more complicated solution, but i think this should be fixed in...

sorry, got confused there.

yeah, it'd be quite useful to have a few more knobs there... i still think my proposed color changes would improve on the default situation though... it seems strange to...

any update here? what's the next step? i keep on patching this with #291 here which works well...
