Aquamacs could be a cause for this but I have no experience with it. color themes are most probably not interfering as they do little more than assigning faces themselves.
Thanks for the reply. I'm still investigating. What's strange is that when I do a "(set-cursor-color "red")", the cursor becomes red for a couple seconds, then takes back its previous color.
I've searched all my init files for anything related to "cursor", and I don't find anything.
I did another experience though: if I don't load evil, then the cursor color change sticks. So I'm wondering if this might not be an evil related issue.
Can it be that you don't set `evil-default-cursor' to your function and do something else?
That way evil resets the cursor to `evil-{emacs,normal,...}-state-cursor' or `evil-default-cursor'.
So please post your related config.
I managed to make it work by manually setting the colors (using the suggested functions): ;; Cursor colors (setq evil-emacs-state-cursor '("sienna" box)) (setq evil-insert-state-cursor '("dark orange" bar)) (setq evil-visual-state-cursor '("black" hollow)) What I was not able was to use the generic code you sent. But I'm happy with this version. Thanks, Alan
